They are aware as they should every year. My friend lives in Cape Coral and Sanibel ground zero from Ian last year. Thank goodness it is only one run but definitely need to keep tabs with 92-97 water temps it is a powder keg. The only thing the models do for me right now is tell me that the conditions for tropical cyclone development is improving, Saharan Dust is currently diminishing, water temps are hot, but all of the models are showing different solutions which will be evident run to run especially 200+ hours out.
