>The worst is some flooding and damage at coastal areas, but it’s always anti-climactic.

The residents of what used to be Ft. Meyers Beach would probably disagree with you.

>Hurricanes themselves are more or less a solved problem in Florida.

I have been in Florida for nearly a decade now. I'd say that the above statement is at best, disingenuous. It's just not true. MAYBE Cat1 hurricanes are a solved problem, but nothing above that. The busiest economic center in Florida (Miami's Brickell area) is 6 feet above sea level. Any major storm locks that part of town down for days. My own building's parking lot is 5 feet above sea level, and yes, it's flooded every time we have a storm.
