Why Florida Gets Slammed By Hurricanes So Often? #shorts

Ever wonder why Florida gets slammed by hurricanes so often?
Florida is in between the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, making it a prime target!
Hurricanes love warm water, and both of these spots serve it up like a buffet.
Plus, Florida’s surrounded by some of the warmest ocean waters in the world. Warm water
equals fuel for hurricanes, making them stronger and more frequent.
Every year, during hurricane season, storms form off the coast of Africa and head west, often
making Florida their first stop, it’s right in the path of the storm highway.
Combine that with Florida’s flat landscape, and there’s nothing to stop the winds from doing their
thing. That’s why the Sunshine State gets more hurricanes than most places.
The most deadly hurricanes in U.S. history are The Great Galveston Hurricane in 1900—this
monster killed over 8,000 people! And we can’t forget Hurricane Katrina in 2005, which
devastated New Orleans and caused over 1,800 deaths.
