It's just not true that we are safe from coastal hurricanes. What we ARE safe from is the very dangerous tidal surge. But, because most of Florida is pretty flat and narrow, we are very vulnerable to the high winds, tornados, and torrential rains that come with big hurricanes. When you live in a state that is only about 150 miles wide, a huge storm that is 500 miles wide is going to get you.
