Granted, a strong enough hurricane - Cat 4+ - can take out anything, but we're in the center of the state. Hurricanes weaken quickly when they hit land.
True about the center of the state, but NASA stated that this summer is the warmest on record. Therefore. hurricanes could become stronger each coming year and might reach into the center of the state.
