Quote: Hugh, is there really anywhere in Okaloosa County that is far enough inland if it took a direct hit?
Well, when I say "far enough inland", I'm assuming that it will weaken substantially. I'm in Valparaiso, and on top of a fairly big hill so I'm away from the bayou (which will flood most of the area). When I say far enough inland, I'm referring to flood threats - which is mostly reduced by living on this hill.
Tornados would be a big problem, and we'd probably get 100+ knot (115 MPH) sustained winds if a Cat 5 made landfall at FWB, but it would do lots more damage to FWB/Destin than here.
