Maybe to ease your concern a little, being over 100 mi from either cost, we're in the lowest risk for severe damage in FL.
When a hurricane threatened FL recent years, the power companies staged thousands of repair crews and equipment just south of Eastport.

On a 65-acre site in The Villages, you can find enough trailers for 2500+ workers to sleep in, more than 100 mobile generators and thousands of utility poles ready to be put up.
“The site is a year-round staging site, an area they typically set up so crews can respond to areas hard hit by a storm, a crucial part of what companies like Duke Energy do come hurricane season."
