This is not true.  A couple of years ago a hurricane ( I forger the 
name) landed on the west coast of Florida and actually increased in 
intensity as it crossed the peninsula.  By the time it hit Palm Beach 
it was a major hurricane and many many people were caught there.  I 
have a friend who was a captain on a yacht and he was on board in the 
inter-coastal fighting to keep the boat off the wall.  As he was 
fighting the weather a Boston Wailer dragging about ten feet of dock 
beside it nearly collided with his vessel.  A couple years earlier my 
sister in Fort Lauderdale was hit unexpectedly when a hurricane was 
supposed to clip Key West and head into the Gulf but rather turned 
strait up US1 and nailed the east coast.  She, and her 
coworkers,  first found out about the storm when they evacuated the 
building.  Having grown up in south Florida I can tell you that a 
Hurricane is anything but predictable.
