Here is an interesting article that talks about how ants, and other certain insects and animals, crave salt and, since most of them live inland, they live in "salt stressed environments." Hurricanes bring the salt from the sea with them as they move inland, therefore, satisfying the craving of the ants. It also mentions that " if you increase the salt content, that could change competitive interactions among species."
Take a look at the article.
