Florida's humidity is horrible. Worse even than VA. They also are plagued with hurricanes. No thanks, I don't want to evacuate my home and worry about it being there when I get back. I'm in NY now but looking at northern VA for retirement

How often do you think people need to evacuate their homes?
I have once in 20 years and only because i was renting on the water while my new home was being built.
How people in the Northeast forget it can happen to them.
Operative word "can". Yes it can, but it DOES in Fla. every year multiple times. I know a number of people that own homes/condos in Fla. that have either lost them or had damage done to them. No thanks.

I was living in Queens when Glorida hit. It knocked down an old tree by our house. That was it. We didn't even lose power because the lines are all underground. Just a lot of rain and wind, although I hear it was worse on LI than NYC.

Truth is, that is how most of Florida is when hurricanes hit. Unless your right on the coast where the eye hits. Just trees falling down, or power out for a couple of hours. The media just shows the worst damage they can possible find. I think hurricanes are exciting.
I don't care what would happen to my house in a hurricane because it is just a house. It is not my home.
