No warm water to feed it so it could lose strength relatively quickly other than the rain. Florida is not that wide so literally 30-40 miles either way and it stays over the water and comes up the west or east side of the state which could make things even worse. Pretty slim margin but maybe that would be the best case scenario.

The hurricane is the size of France (waaaay wider than Florida). It's not going to slow down fast enough, even if part of it is over land.
Also, I suspect that the hundreds of weather experts might have considered that :P
