No doubt, Florida is hurricane country; all of Florida. That said, the
main damage from Katrina was not from the storm itself, but from the storm tide.
The worst possible storm tide on the Atlantic side of Florida is a fraction of
what you can see in the Gulf. Besides, 20' over sea level beats the stink out
of 20' BELOW sea level.
