dade?
I didn't get that from those websites.
okay so muscogee right?
Now I don't know. The website above says that hurricanes are more common on the southeast corner. But none of your choices are located there.
Please check your book or other text materials.
To determine which Georgia county is most likely to experience a direct hit from a hurricane, we can consider a few factors.
1. Geographic Location: Georgia's coastline lies along the Atlantic Ocean, making coastal counties more susceptible to hurricanes compared to inland counties. Therefore, we can eliminate Dooly County, as it is located further inland in central Georgia.
2. Distance from the coast: The closer a county is to the coast, the higher the likelihood of experiencing a direct hit from a hurricane. If we compare Muscogee County and Dade County, Muscogee County is located further inland, while Dade County is relatively close to the state's northwestern corner.
Based on these considerations, Dade County is the most likely to experience a direct hit from a hurricane among the three options you provided. However, it's important to note that hurricanes can be unpredictable, and any coastal county in Georgia could potentially experience a direct hit depending on the storm's path and intensity.
