As someone who has lived in Florida for almost my entire life, I can attest to the fact that there is too much overpopulation and overdevelopment in Florida, especially in the last 20 years.
However, the frequency of Hurricanes hitting the Central Fl area has gone wild in the last six years.
For example, between 1984 and 2004, zero hurricanes hit the Central Fl area. Then we had three hurricanes hit the area in the same year(Charley, Francis, Jeane). Then we had another 11 year stretch with no Hurricanes in the area.
Now since 2016, we have had 7 Hurricanes impact the Area.
So 3 in 32 years, as compared to 7 in 6 years. That’s either bad luck, global warming, or a combination of the two.
