There may not be a direct hit but there can be flooding, loss of electricity and wind damage closing the rec centers, golf courses, restaurants and businesses.
When, in recent memory, has that happened in TV?

Yes, I'm aware of that time when there were tornados that hit TV in 2007.

But the last two major (and many, many minor) hurricanes caused minimal damage. A bit of golf course flooding (which they are designed to do), a few MMP tunnels flooded and a few lost power for a short time...

The State of FL used land in TV for a staging area for the massive influx of repair crews that came to the state in preparation for the storms...
