Every place has its' risks. Earthquakes, volcanoes, mud slides etc.
I will say that the hurricanes add a bit of adventure to a normally placid existence
:-) I know that I kinda of enjoy a massive snow storm (< 12 inches mind you
:-) though can drift up to 4'). But I am prepared: generator, tractor with a blade, well water, plenty of food etc.

My mother is north of Ruskin (just outside of Tampa) right now because of work. She is at a friend's house which is a recent built and hurricane rated. She said that they lost mobile phone service but is still able to communicate via text courtesy of Starlink and T-Mobile working out emergency text service.

They also lost internet service but power is still up at the house.

im retired now. I wanted to retire to the beaches and sun. Hurricanes are part of the deal.
The pic is my backyard. (At least before tonight). My land goes down to the water. I have a 10K pound boat dock and lift there. But currently no boat. So when people ask why retire here? deal with hurricanes? this is why.

My in-laws house in Crystal River is trashed from the last hurricane, we are trying to make the best of this.
Ocala is underrated. Went there to ride Santos on mountain bikes but was blown away by the beautiful thoroughbred ranches. Insane.
