We might get the one the crosses over the state, but since were 50 miles or more from either coast, just like Irma when it came through here two years, the winds will diminish somewhat after they make landfall. Places like Naples, Fort Myers on the Gulf side and Miami, Palm Beach on the Atlantic are more vulnerable. It seems like Savannah and North Carolina gets more than most, the Outer Banks.
Thanks for the info
