As a several generation N. FL native, I DO want hurricanes to hit
here. This says nothing about wanting anybody to die. Anybody with
any sense gets out of their way, anybody who stays is helping the gene
pool. The coastal ecology requires hurricanes here. Inland, we need
the rainfall storms provide. If you dont want hurricanes, go
somehwere else, they are part of the deal here.
The "threat" of hurricanes in Florida is certainly real, but the
probability of a direct hit by the eye is pretty small, mainly due to
Florida's large area. The three that hit the area where we had property
... Jupiter,FL ..... (Francis and Jeanne in 2004 and then Wilma in 2005)
were the first that had scored a direct hit in that area in over 100
years.

The probability of your house burning to the ground is slight yet you insure
it against that possible catastrophic event.
As you know it is all a matter of probability *and* severity. Some
insurance companies have decided to get out of the Florida market as the
severity has trumped probability.
