Florida 2019 hurricane season opens with powerful lessons from Matthew, Irma, Michael

Florida will start the 2019 hurricane season powerfully informed by Matthew’s scary miss of the east coast in 2016, the statewide crushing from Irma in 2017 and Michael’s brutal assault on the Panhandle last year.Each of those monster storms was different in nature but none devastated a metropolitan area, something forecasters say will happen sooner or later.
