Context: Hurricane Idalia hit Florida. The storm is a Category 3 hurricane.
Florida is prone to hurricanes because of its location and climate. Florida’s long coastline and location between the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico make it vulnerable to hurricanes from either side.
Warm ocean waters can fuel hurricanes. Florida’s low-lying coastline and shallow waters provide little protection from water being pushed inland by winds.
