Tallahassee is probably not in any danger this time. As a matter off fact, it's location is well insulated from a severe direct hurricane hit. It doesn't mean it might not someday encounter squalls, a tornado, etc. but they are too far from the coast and too protected by its surroundings to take the sort of brunt that the Florida or Gulf coasts sometimes face.

This could not be any worse for oil prices.

While Tallahassee, being 20 miles inland, wouldn't see the storm surge from a hurricane, it could still get severe destruction from a direct hit of a major hurricane. That's just not far enough inland. Luckily for them, the shape of the coastline reduces the odds of such as compared to many coastal towns, but doesn't eliminate it.
