10 Florida Places Hurricanes Changed Forever

Florida has always lived with hurricanes, but some storms don’t just cause damage. They split a place’s history into two parts: before and after. In this video, we’re looking at 10 Florida places hurricanes changed forever. From Pensacola’s lost chance at becoming America’s oldest city, to the Florida Keys railroad destroyed by the 1935 Labor Day Hurricane, to Lake Okeechobee’s deadly 1928 disaster, Hurricane Andrew’s impact on building codes, Hurricane Michael’s devastation in Mexico Beach, and Hurricane Ian’s lasting effects on Southwest Florida’s barrier islands. This is not just a list of the strongest or costliest hurricanes in Florida history. It’s about the places where storms changed roads, towns, laws, insurance, evacuation habits, tourism, and the way Floridians remember their own communities.
