Unless I'm mistaken, that was Andrew.
 
Eric Blake just tweeted he's reminded of the infamous 1926 Miami hurricane

Hundreds drowned then when Lake Okeechobee flooded
 
Curious question, if it was to go north along the western side of Florida, would it possibly weaken faster since the right side of the eye wall would be more likely to be onshore instead of it going up floridas east coast and having the eye wall stay more over water?

There are other dynamics, such as a bath water shallow Gulf vs a deeper Atl, so it's not an A+B = C equation. Plus a Gulf run, coming in close to N or S of Tampa would likely surge much worse than a NE landfall near say the Space Coast or Jax (since the movement would likely be in either case W to E) ... in many respects ... pick your poison
