Something of note, this region doesn't get significant hurricane hits often at all (big bend area of FL). That being said, one of the last direct big hits was Hurricane Hermine which landfalled at 80 MPH as a slightly above averaged size storm. It produced a damaging 6-9 ft surge in that region and was locally quite destructive. It's likely we get >80 MPH at landfall if this were to landfall in the same region. Also may be the same size if not a little bigger than Hermine. That would be a much higher surge than what Hermine did in a very surge suspectable region. Also, this area is the most impoverished part of Florida. As a result, the building codes are some of the weakest in the state. Yes, this is a somewhat sparsely populated area compared to other places in FL, but its a much weaker area in general. So it's a bit of a concerning pick your poison scenario.
