Contrary to the protestations of some on here, Florida is not the only place hit by these storms. I rode out Sandy in Maryland, and while our winds didn’t quite hit hurricane strength, that’s basically what it sounded like: a constant thundering, like a freight train.
A lot of time these storms cause serious flooding inland. Most people associate Hurricane Camille with the Gulf Coast, but it killed over 100 in Virginia due to flooding.

Including many places in the northeast.
