I've been thinking about this too.
Certainly a direct hit on Everglades City seems much more "preferable" (better scenario) than hitting Miami.
Less of an economic impact for sure.
But I almost fear a higher death toll with a track up the center of the state which has a lot of mobile homes / modular houses...
Yes, vastly smaller population, but poorer, perhaps less able to evacuate, and less-sturdy houses...
