Imagine if Florida and the Gulf Coast never had hurricanes or tornadoes, and even tropical storms were very rare. But nothing else changes--same mugginess, same rainy summer weather (just not torrential enough to be called a hurricane). Same mild winters, same everything, just no hurricanes or tornadoes at all. On top of that, authorities have managed to built top-of-the-line, cutting edge flood control systems in every coastal city to the point where flooding is hardly an issue.
How good would you rate Houston, New Orleans, or Orlando's summer weather now, without any natural disasters? How much better would the Gulf's climate be.
To me, this would be an A++++++ climate. No property damage to fear of at all, just awe-inspiring summer thunderstorms and tranquil, breezy, sunny days with beautifully warm nights, perfect for watching concerts or fireworks in the park. This climate would be far far far better than what you get anywhere in California.
The cold fronts in winter would still be annoying. When places like Houston and New Orleans sometimes still get hard freezes and high temperatures in the 30s Fahrenheit, it's not a good subtropical climate.

But the summers would be perfect, wouldn't they be? I asked about summer, not winter.
Then i guess we would have no canes or naders then. Some parts of FL never see a hit from a Cane. Strong naders are rare. Most are very weak. Tampa has not had a hit since 1921. Maybe once in 20 years we see a F5 nader like we did back in 97 or 98 around Orlando.
Hurricanes are not the problem with Florida summers. I've lived here 45 years, and still hate the summer heat.
I know right, I hate our summers, but it has nothing to do with hurricanes.
