CSU meteorologists predict Florida will have the highest risk among coastal states for a named storm coming within 50 miles at 92%—with a 65% chance for a hurricane and a 35% chance for a major hurricane—as the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season begins later this year.

A new study found that in 2024, 14 Florida insurance companies closed more than half of homeowner claims with no payment, and People’s Trust (75.4%) was the worst, while regulators work to review rules as the state prepares for a busy hurricane season starting June 1.
