I know you folks in FL love it there but I just couldn’t live with the hurricane hammer over my head every year. No one is immune from natural disasters, but they happen there so often. It’s a trade off, beautiful location vs imminent threats. My grandparents lived in Miami and I spent a lot of time there. After going thru these hurricanes, do you have any thoughts of leaving?

If you give me $50 I'll take that antique off your hands.

Your missing a 3 in that number.

I had 3 in a row and it was time to leave after that.
Been here 15 years now

Got out for a quick look in the Coronado sand this morning. Very clean beach, only two pull tabs in an hour.
Pulled a stainless ring.

I think I counted 10 or 11 people. Not sure if the leaning one is a person or a pylon.
Need more people for drops it seems.
That or a local sucks it dry.
At least you gave it a try.

I get it. I'm a Florida native and will admit it is very tedious. I absolutely cannot handle cold weather so I don't know where I could move to. I've been through 7 hurricanes since 1983 when I moved back to Florida from Ohio. A few were pretty intense.. ĺI could sell my place and buy something up north. When it snows I'd want to come back so l'll just stay. As I get older the effort gets harder. This was the 1st storm I payed for cleanup help. 90 degree weather doesn't faze me. It's not if a storm will hit, it's when.
