Answer 7

Florida is in the path of so many hurricanes because of it's unique geographical location. Florida lies in the subtropical zone, which extends roughly the length of the peninsula. As a result, storms developing in the tropical waters of the Atlantic Ocean or Caribbean Sea often are steered toward the state by the Bermuda or Subtropical High, a large area of high pressure that sits over the Atlantic during the summer months. Florida is also surrounded by very warm waters, which breed and support hurricanes, the Atlantic Ocean to the east, the Gulf of Mexico to the west and the Caribbean Sea well to the south.

Tropical storms threaten the state almost every year, and most years experience a direct strike from a tropical storm. Hurricanes, on the other hand, are not as frequent, but they’re still rather common.

Answer 8

It is? Since when?

Considering it is a peninsula that hangs way out into tropical waters, I'd say it's been doing pretty good lately.

Hopefully I don't eat my words and watch it get slammed anytime soon.

I adore that state.
