A few years ago tropical storm wiped out power for a few days around labor day. One of my customers had there house rented and the tenant somehow tracked me down to come clean there pool in there powerless house. I did get payed in cash but wow talk about priorities. Hopefully the Atlantic somehow stays calm this year I pray

if you leave you will get looted. if you stay you will have no power. buy a generator and stay.

I’ve never left but I know plenty who did for Irma a few years ago.

Hurricane prep is a MAJOR pain in the ass but u gotta do what u gotta do.

The only time I lost power was Irma back in 2004. Lost it for 5 days. Luckily it was in late October and not so brutally hot.

I’ll admit, Irma scared the living shit out of me

been through plenty of them and almost always stay, have left a few times but only cause i have little ones and seems like a no brainer.
live on the outer banks of nc, northern part though. the southern part usually gets hit hard and i would leave then.
my parents stayed in lavalette through sandy, that was terrible. we dont have a looting problem really where i live but i know in other parts of the country thats a huge concern as well.
a nor'easter is usually way worse and gets no coverage here. they tend to just sit off the coast and pound the dunes and beach during the winter time. does more damage than most hurricanes that hit but nobody knows about em.

Fuck that shit. Not worth being materialistic in life. If you hold the deed to the ground then it will be there when you get back. Other than that move out of hurricane land to tornado land or earthquake land.

I don't understand how you people can choose to live in Florida.

Same cost of living here in the PHX area.

108 and dry >>>>> 95 and dripping

Not many flying bugs that bite.

Just as nice in the winter.

Hop skip and jump to Vegas and San Diego.

And most importantly.. No hurricanes, tornadoes, or earthquakes.

God's country.

Yeah DD: Florida would get kind of tough in the summer ! A lot of people from CT, Ma, etc. Retire there and within a few years either move back or halfway back to like NC or SC, still in the hurricane zone

I don't worry about hurricanes in CT, even if it hits as cat 4 down South, it's a tropical storm by the time it gets here, I never evacuate, at least if you lose power due to a hurricane you won't freeze to death, water will work, etc.

Phoenix is a bit big city for me, I'd just move back to Vegas instead !

Tucson would be more my style

Traffic in southern Florida is a bitch to. If Florida I'd go for Daytona Beach or maybe Tampa, not Miami

I have never left , and have been though 4 or 5 I think . I live more inland so it really was no big deal . If you have your shutters up, and a generator , you should be fine

Tornadoes blowing up are the biggest fear, but in Fla we dont usually get any big twisters

Fla is awesome, Im never leaving
