I will say this about Florida humidity. If you stay out of the sun and use sunscreen we have nice skin. I feel like my head is in an oven with dry heat. Nose is all dried out, skin wrinkly. We have a great ocean and nice beaches.

I would prefer to think the OP simply is not aware of some of the weather-related issues in Florida. I suspect some people don't realize there are parts of Florida which are not perpetually "warm" and that frost is certainly not unheard of.
The Op did not say they thought there was no humidity here, just that the state might offer a "dryer" climate.
And there certainly are parts of Florida which offer much, MUCH cheaper real estate prices than the coast.

The OP's not a troll, just someone, as Dukey says, who is not that familiar with Florida. A lot of people equate heat with dryness; and a lot of people think of hurricanes as a purely coastal phenomenon. That's the whole point of asking here, to find out what one doesn't know...

The OP has not specified what it is that has caused the husband's disability and, I assume, back pain(?) She has also indicated that the husband "believes" in something which may or may not prove to be true.
Someone upthread suggested a thorough evaluation for causation.
Unfortunately the OP has failed to respond which is not helpful. I honestly wish I could offer more than information based on supposition so I have attempted to content myself with stuff which I believe to be accurate based on first-hand experience.

"Sorry, meant to say we would love to know where in Florida one is MOST likely to avoid a hurricane."
The NE corner of the state (St. Johns, Duval and Nassau counties). Statistics bear this out.

The OP asked for a "place in Florida where there is no hurricanes"--and there is no such place.
Dukey wrote "Sorry, meant to say we would love to know where in Florida one is MOST likely to avoid a hurricane." That's a very different request, one which OrlandoVic answered.
Just clarifying!

If you are looking for a dry climate you should consider Arizona or New Mexico! It's beautiful but very very hot during summer times! Florida is not immune to hurricanes
But people are settling there for a long time now!
I'm also looking into flats especially in Pompano Beach. This is not too far away from Miami and I love this city!! Here is a map where you can see the location https://sabbiabeachcondos.com/locati...-location-map/
We are trying to move there at the beginning of next year! Fingers crossed

Vic, Baby, as I sit here on the beach I am going to remember those "statistics" you quoted as to strom vulnerability.
Would I actually MOVE to Nassau County? NO! If I were that worried about storms I would have avoided Florida entirely and moved to California hoping for an earthquake or a forest fire or a drought.
