Florida will always be threatened by hurricanes. Due to its location, and climate, it is in a region that is hurricane vulnerable. So is Gulf Coast Texas, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Mexico. Likewise, North Carolina coastal areas, Long Island New York, and other prominently featured geographical regions are likewise at risk.
2004 was an extremely unusual year, due to the number of landfalls in Florida, much as 1886 was for Texas. Are these years the norm? Certainly NOT. Is the lesson for 2004 to be vigilant in areas that can be targets for hurricanes? HOPEFULLY EVERYONE KNOWS THE ANSWER TO THAT ONE. 1992 yielded one of the worst storms in history, Andrew (in a non-active season). Likewise, 1989 yielded a brute in a year of average activity--Hugo. The list goes on, so what one must learn is to be vigilant---Remember, Florida gets hurricanes, California gets Earthquakes, Illinois gets Snowstorms. Such is the way of nature, and so will it always be.
What is in store for Florida?
