I think its in a lot of areas. In the brevard county , fl area
Cocoa Beach/Space center etc. the last real storm was in 1995, Erin.

Floyd not hitting here actually made people mad. They were mad that they had evacuated only for it to curve away form the area. Bertha in 96 curverd as well in a similar forcast to Floyd.

In the Viera area just W of I 95 central part of the county, homes have sprouted up like rabbit babies. Cocoa Beach has had a few new multi story condos go up since then Erin. Most of the people living in these homes and condos werent here in 95 ( Erin) to know that they can and do hit this area. The wierd urban local legend that the cape reflects the storms away from the area isnt a help either.

Sadly it takes a big storm hitting to wake people up. Then its too late
