How far inland do you have to be to a out the majority of a hurricane's strength?

It don't sound worth it to live by the ocean unless you can escape.

A lot of people live in coastal areas due to having money-making businesses or jobs, and others like to fish, swim, surf or whatever. At least 40 miles but you can still get flooded out.

@cherokeepatti and I suppose if you elevate to place you then get exposed to the wind...

@Tastyfrzz Florida sucks as far as having any natural protection from hurricanes.
