Yes Hurakan, I have seen that map for FL in the 1940s and it was a rough time for us. Thanks for posting this.

It's a cruel reminder that things could get much worse in the future, especially for South Florida.

I'm sorry, but I fail to see the point of this thread. In the graphic, 7 major hurricanes hit Florida over a period of 10 years. Over the past 2 alone, FL has had 4 direct, and 1 indirect strike (Charley, Jeanne, Dennis, Wilma, I: Ivan)

In the graphic there are 10 total (over a period of 10 years), and in the past 2 alone, total, we have had Charley, Ivan, Jeanne, Dennis, Katrina, Rita, and Wilma....7.

IMO, there is no comparison.
