Florida’s pretty big. 1350 miles of coastline! The worst consequences of hurricanes still tend to affect a minority of us who live here. Micheal virtually wiped whole communities off the map just to the east of Panama City. Meanwhile 50-60 miles to the west, it was almost a non-event.

We thank everyone who shows concern for us as these hit us, but it’s localized a lot more than it is for the states with short coastlines.
