So Florida's typical problems then would be physical (flowing underground water), rather than the chemically-caused limestone holes in, say, central Yucatan, right?

Central Florida is a karst region, too, so the subsurface erosion is (probably) primarily chemical, with a bit of mechanical weathering due to current flow.
