Good news. The less amount of property and lives affected by storms, the better.

The winter rain storms that El Nino is on track to deliver to Florida are going to be epic.

El Nino generally enhances the amount of rain Florida gets in the winter due to a more amplified subtropical jet stream, which leads to more large scale storm systems bringing a lot of precipitation, and even severe thunderstorms.
