zdave, with all due respect your facts are entirely wrong.
I don't know where you are getting them, but your numbers are made out of whole-cloth. The actual budget cuts from the legislature are in the neighborhood of $480,000,000.00, and while Gov. Crist has indicated that he might veto this bill because the cuts went deeper than what he wanted, at this point he has not.
It is completely inaccurate to represent what the governor may do and state that his wishes represent the final budget cuts. The rest of your facts about salaries are also suspect, and I am sure you don't get involved in public education payrolls.
Moreover, you allocation of these cuts over the all children enrolled in public education throughout the state is nonsense. OCPS for instance is cutting its budget by $100,000,000.00 in the next fiscal year, partly to account for a reduction from the state of $70,000,000.00. Given the fact that its total student population is decreasing, the per student allocation is much higher for OCPS than in your post. The state funds different districts differently, and its cuts affect different districts differently.
My point is still valid--Florida is not a great place right now for teachers.

I would look into St. Augustine as well. It is not too big of a city however it is not small either. It is on the beach, only 30 mins away from Jacksonville, and Daytona Bch. So you maybe able to find a job in JAX at worse case and commute back and forth.

Also ... there are several sites dedicated to the potential of severe storms ... both from past precedence as well as more current weather models. Florida is known for its weather ... both good AND bad. But ... there are some areas that have survived better than others due to topographical differences.
