This may require a lot of scientific background to properly explain.

In somewhat scientific terms, equatorial Atlantic winds tend to blow northwest. Coincidentally, this means towards Florida. Warmer waters mean higher evaporation, which means larger clouds and thus larger storms. Warm waters and air provide fuel for the approaching storm. So you have a storm building over time and being blown on a collision course with the main land.

Explain as if 5: it’s like a snowball building up over time as it rolls down the hill. It’s coincidental that Florida is at the bottom of this hill.
