NO PLACE IN FLORIDA IS SAFE from hurricaines... if you want to be safe from hurricaines... then stay where you are... When I lived in Florida, I lost ONE boat to Hurricaine Andrew and almost lost another one to Hurricaine Keith... believe me.. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A SAFE PLACE IN FLORIDA... Tallahassee was almost destroyed along with Pensacola during Katrina... so whoever told you Tallahassee... didn't know what they were talking about.

The former head of the National Hurricane Center, Bob Sheets, picked a place in Southern Florida. He choose the Lake Placid area because that is the farthest point in Florida from the oceans and gulfs. Here the winds from hurricanes should be slowed to a lower level.

Tampa bay is one of the hardest places for a hurricane to get to, but if one does manage to crook around and come up through there it is a deadly place to be because of the way it sets so low and has little canals and penninsulas everywhere.
