It's not a matter of if a hurricane will hit Florida, but when, forecasters say

They are.

I don't buy into the climate change claims. Weather is cyclical and hurricanes are as well.  It is my understanding that SWFL hadn't seen a Cat 5 hurricane in almost 50 years so we were long over due. We've had years with no activity but the past couple of years have been quite active so I'm hoping that we'll soon be heading into another calm period.

CSU is predictibg a heck of an active season this year.  No sectors will be immune

PeteS in CA:
Has there ever been a hurricane season, since reasonably complete records began, when Florida was not "hit" by a hurricane?

There's a huge difference between a tropical storm and a hurricane. 

I looked up the stats; Since 1851 only eighteen hurricane seasons passed without a known storm impacting the state. Florida has gone 10 years without a hurricane hitting the state.

The three areas/cities of FL that are more prone to hurricanes are; 1) Miami, 2) Key West, 3) Tampa
