Hallelujah! We're on the cusp of entering October and we've not seen a storm yet! If you're not familiar, June through November is prime storm (hurricane) season in the southeast. A few years back we took a beating down here in Bonita Springs, Florida. Well, this year we had a reprieve; a well earned respite from tropical winds.
The fact of the matter is Southwest Florida and the Bonita Springs area has enjoyed a long history of very few storms. What?! Southwest Florida has actually seen fewer storms than most of the Southeast. Take a look at this hurricane history map. Bonita Springs is locate in the areas where hurricane Isabell came ashore on the gulf coast of Florida.
It's never been a better time to buy Bonita Springs and Estero Florida real estate. The property values have adjusted, inventory offers choice and we're just about to enter our most beautiful time of the year. We're just weeks away from powder blue sky's and our world famous, near rain free winters.

Interesting post - thanks for sharing. I think the map is interesting in seeing where the various hurricanes have landed.
Great Post and I really like the map, lets me know where in Florida I am going to retire to.
Take care!

I just notice a red dot named "Camille", the name of my all time worst client - a little old lady who was just mean as a snake! Yup, she was a Category 5! And really cool map!
Very cool map. I lived in Charlotte for Hugo and he kicked my butt!! It was not fun, I can't imagine hurricane season in Florida. I hope you guys make it to your beautiful winter with nothing but gorgeous blue skies!
Neat Map Chris....
Brings back memories.... Hurricane Gloria got rid of that weeping willow tree a month or two after we closed on this house. Really got to Meet the Neighbors since we were without power for close to a week as I recall.
That's an awesome map. Where'd you find that? I'm personally thrilled (in Daytona) to have had an easy storm season as well.
Chris, this can't be anything but good news for all of you down there. We think we've found a preventive cure fore the next one though. When is passes Cuba heading your way, lets put Dubya on the last island in the Keys and have him explain his Iraq policy again. All the hot air will push the storm away... or bore it into an incompetent calm.
Thanks for the map, and none of us want to see any more storms for you guys in quite a while.
Cheers
Wow, Neat Map really interesting. The one I will never forget is Isabel in 2003. I am surprised to see it made landfall in North Carolina ???
It wrecked so much havoc in the DC Metro Area, you would have thought it made landfall on the shore of the Potomac River in DC!
Hi Chris-
Great info-
We've all been lucky in South Florida this year - with all that hype about a 'above average hurricane activity', nothing has come near us!
This is an excellent post which should help encourage some folks reluctant to purchase in SW Florida due to hurricanes.
I didn't realize that most of the storms hit the east more than the west coast!
Chris, hurricanes (not Miami University) are equal opportunity destroyers. Good luck on the rest of the season.
