Why has Florida NOT had a major hurricane go through the state in the past eight years?
Part of it is a matter of luck. Major hurricanes do not occur every year and many that do do not make landfall. Even then, Florida is just one of many places a hurricane can go. We've has several mild hurricanes seasons in the past few years, followed by active ones where the Azores High was shifted to the east. The Azores high is a semi-permanent high pressure system over the Atlantic. Its clockwise circulation generally steers hurricanes to the west and then turns them north. In the 2010 and 2011 seasons, which were active overall, the high was positioned in such a way that hurricanes and tropical storms turned north before reaching the U.S.
