Standard procedure for insurance agencies is to not issue homeowner policies anytime there is a named storm active in the Atlantic or the Gulf.
Meteorology is not an exact science. And it's a hell of a lot tougher than the TV weather-guesser makes it seem to be. (I oughta know... I took - and flunked - a meteorology course at OU.)
Size of the storm does not necessarily equal strength. The smaller and more defined the eye of the hurricane, the stronger it is. Andrew's eye was measured at around 8-10 miles in diameter, and passed so fast over South Florida that it was hardly noticed.
