Except that Florida mostly produces juice oranges.
California mostly produces table oranges.
A lot of the damaged California crop may be
salvaged by being turned into juice, so juice
prices might actually go down.
I'm more worried about other crops, like Brussels
sprouts. I haven't heard a word about them,
and I eat Brussels sprouts almost every day.
(And I eat broccoli on the sprout-less days.)
