Before moving here we were hit with hurricane Wilma in Boynton Bch. Fla. It came ashore on the west coast of Florida around Naples, crossed the state to the east coast, 160 miles and gained strength before hitting us on the east coast in Boynton. It was so large that it was over the Gulf and the Atlantic at the same time. Being this far inland will save us from storm surge but don't count on it downgrading to a tropical storm. We're in the most narrow part of the peninsula of Fla.
