RE; I’ve lived through my share of hurricanes……it’s doable

As a native Floridian, do you know a nice city in your state that doesn’t encounter hurricanes? Or is the entire state prone to it and hurricanes are unavoidable? Thanks.

Certain areas are more prone than others……..but all are vulnerable to some degree
We are 20 minutes from the beach ( as a crow flies)
If we had a direct hit, Cocoa Beach and the smaller islands would evacuate, plus swatches of mainland.

We have evacuated only twice….in 2004 when we had 4 hurricanes…
Even the two of them that traveled from the west coast through the middle of the state to the east coast packed a punch.
Our county had an abundant of blue tarp houses afterwards.

But the past several years we have had minimal to none….
And then we had the one this year that took out portions of Fort Myers Beach

I guess it’s a game of odds
…. All in all it’s a wonderful, sunny, tropical and lovely place to live.
