worried english couplel! - FLHurricane.com

Wild side, eh? I think you will be fine. While Florida is the most hurricane prone state in the country, any hurricane that hits either coast will be somewhat weakened by the time it gets to Orlando. While it certainly is possible, and someone correct me if I am wrong, but I think hurricanes hitting the immediate coast that far north (around Daytona) are somewhat rare. On the other hand, backdoor hurricanes affect the city as well. Charley maintained hurricane status all the way through the state, and Orlando suffered light damage (my uncle lives there).
I think hurricanes will be the least of your worries. Just a ”fun” fact, but Central Florida is the most lightning prone place in North America (some place in Africa stole the #1 world slot from us). If you want to use our beaches, I have generally noticed that the waves are much bigger on the east coast. Just watch out for sharks. Florida has been dubbed the “shark bite capital of the world”. I don’t know if you have heard about the tragic fatality last week, but a girl was killed by a bull shark. Also, you will have to deal with the Florida humidity. I recently went to Texas where the heat indices were up to 110 degrees. However, the moment I got off the plane back home I felt the wave rush over me. 90F here just plain sucks.

Lol… I suppose that would make a horrible television add showcasing our great state. In all honesty, this is my favorite place in the world, and I am sure that you will have a great time with Mickey.
