So, How Many Octo-Canes Hit the Sunshine State, Anyway?
Here's the thing: nobody wants to be caught counting love bites, especially not hurricane love bites. But statistics are our friends, and they tell us that October has a fondness for Florida. Out of the 19 hurricanes that have made landfall in the US during October since 1950, a whopping 10 of those cozy up with Florida. That's almost like saying Florida puts out the welcome mat for these blustery boos.
Wait, 10 Out of 19? Isn't That Kind of a Lot?
Well, compared to, say, Nebraska, it sure is. But hey, Florida's got that whole "peninsula sticking out into the hurricane highway" thing going on. It's like a bullseye for tropical trouble.

Let's be honest, these October hurricanes can be a real drag. Power outages, flooding, theme park closures (the horror!), it's not exactly a walk on the beach. But hey, at least they make great conversation starters, right? "Remember that time we used a surfboard to get groceries during Hurricane What's-His-Name?"
But Seriously, Folks, Stay Safe!
While we can joke about flying coconuts and rogue lawn flamingos, hurricanes are serious business. Always be prepared with a hurricane kit, have a plan, and listen to the authorities. Don't be that guy who tries to surf a hurricane – we've all seen those videos, and let's just say they're not exactly #LifeGoals material.
