50 miles as the crow flies to Crystal River. So maybe if you take a direct hit from the eye of the storm that was a level 5 when it hit Crystal River, you'll see level 2 winds (96-110) when it hits your 110mph rated house -- but only if the eyewall hits you. And what are the odds that a 10 mile eye wall actually hits your house? About the same as a tornado hitting a house in Kansas (only with a lot less damage). It could happen. Probably won't.
Drop my insurance? Very tempted. It's something I consider on every insurance hike (100% this year!). I'm far more worried about liability, though, than fires or hurricanes. Know any companies that will sell standalone liability insurance on a house? Me neither.
