Same here in Juno Beach - I've been through dozens of storms since the late 80's. If you're not paying attention or not prepared, you're just asking for it.
You have to just sift through the propaganda. Mike's weather page, Storm2k.org, and others are the must visits when a storm is approaching. Certainly not the Weather Channel or people like Shep on Fox a few years ago telling me I'm going to DIE if I don't evacuate.
Yep....I’m on the Texas Coast and took a direct hit from Beryl. Took me a month to cleanup the yard...
