Yes, in a strong El Nino such as this one, Florida is expected to have above average winter rainfall, and some of the rain may come with storminess in terms of wind, but nothing dangerous. Besides giving Florida a wet winter, El Nino usually also results in a quieter hurricane season in the preceding summer and fall, and that is indeed what has been observed during the last several months. El Nino's effects on both the effect on hurricanes and on Florida's winter rainfall have known physical causes.
