Geez, I feel for you guys that have to board up or evacuate 5 times a year. :(

Dont forget Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, The Bahamas, Cuba, Virgin Islands, Leeward Islands and Bermuda.
Also, don't forget Long Island is way overdue for a big one and that includes the Jersey shore and New England coast.
Its a matter of time before Hawaii gets whalloped again too.
I live in Florida and have not had to evacuate this year at all.
Before 2004 the last time I evacuated (and nothing happened) was 1999 for Floyd. Before that I have never evacuated before.
In the 20 years I have lived in Florida I have only had to endure 2 major hurricanes and 1 minor one. I'll take those odds and continue to live in paradise.
