The Not-So-Sunshine Story: Where'd the Whoosh Go?
The 2020 Atlantic hurricane season was a real barn burner. We're talking a record-breaking 14 hurricanes, folks! Seven of those bad boys were classified as major, packing serious wind and storm surge. Sounds like Florida should have been bracing for a tropical-flavored apocalypse, right? Wrong!
QuickTip: Scan the start and end of paragraphs.
Florida, in a stunning turn of events, somehow managed to dodge a direct hit from any of these hurricanes. That's right, while the rest of the U.S. coastline was getting pummeled, Florida was chilling on the beach with a metaphorical pi�a colada.
QuickTip: Slow down if the pace feels too fast.
But Wait, There's More (Because 2020)
Now, before you break out the celebratory sunscreen, there's a teeny tiny asterisk. Hurricane Sally did decide to give the Florida Panhandle a friendly (but very wet) shoulder bump, dumping buckets of rain and causing some serious flooding. So, while Florida technically wasn't bullseyed by a hurricane, it wasn't exactly a walk on the beach either.
QuickTip: Read again with fresh eyes.

The Takeaway: A Hurricane Hiatus (Hopefully Not a Haiku)
So, what can we learn from this bizarre twist in Floridian weather? Well, a few things:
Tip: Rest your eyes, then continue.
- Hurricanes are unpredictable. Just because you dodged a bullet one year doesn't mean you're invincible.
- Preparation is key. Even if a direct hit seems unlikely, always be prepared for the possibility of tropical trouble.
- Sometimes, life throws you a curveball (or a hurricane). Just roll with it, stay safe, and maybe invest in some good rain boots.
