Florida Isn't Built For Everyone

As you all know I'm currently living in Tampa. Tampa has been dumped on by mother nature over the past week. We had more water pushed out of the bay by the winds of Hurricane Helene. And now for this recent storm, the bay waters were pulled out to sea. This has happened before in 2017. It was a wild occurrence then and it's an even Wilder one today. 

I'm originally from thr tri-state area of NYC. I survived the multiple blizzard of 1996. And there are other storms of the winter and summer that have hit that region when I lived there. To me there is nothing different. Weather is weather. You either survive it or let it take you down. 

For me, I would gladly keep rolling the dice in Florida. I enjoy my freedoms and the entire lifestyle of living in a tropical climate. I have ZERO inclinations of heading back to NYC. And I'm damn sure not heading to the land of California socialists. Earthquakes and wildfires are even more scary to deal with when living in dry ass California. 

This next quote is from one of the followers of my Facebook page ...

"I doubt it! I still want to move there , hurricanes and all. United States has plenty of hazardous weather! Can’t run from it. And when you compare icy roads and blizzards to hurricanes it’s all bad weather! 

We all wish there was more space in United States with tropical weather but unfortunately there isn’t! 

So those who live there should not only know they will face hurricanes but always know newcomers are going to come too! It’s part of living in the best weather 99% of the time."

She encapsulates my thoughts succintly.
