I was in palm beach county for Katrina , that was a very weak hit for the east coast . About 85mph down in Fort Lauderdale and got going in gulf and hit key west decently as it pulled away and intensified rapidly
The best for me Was Wilma , was stronger than forecast and had 110mph gusts across most of S FL Which seemed at the time much higher or should I say jaw dropping
I recall watching Floyd a monster the year I moved down , we boarded up for and saw 24/7 on news for days that as usual hit Bahamas and curved NW just east of Florida , sparring us , was a large 4-5 buzzsaw
