What’s the population of the area? Usually the permanent population of that part of Florida is less than the tourists that are there.
We like going to the Destin-area, they’re probably ok as they are further to the west.
The two counties getting the very worst -the NE eyewall - are lightly populated - I recall reading they had a combined population of around 30K. But a fair amount of people in FL and GA are going to get hit very hard. Recall the damage that Charley caused all the way inland to Orlando. And Michael is stronger than Charley. The weaker side of the storm is probably as strong as the worst of Harvey, and Harvey trashed Rockport.
