Anyways, my vote is for PA. I wish there was a poll. I like to see Florida loose
She said they don't get fires in PA.
I thought that was interesting.

Do have something relevant to add to that?

And it is lose not loose. Did they not teach you that when you got your MBA?

220 acres of the Poconos don't burn every year. Why? IT RAINS ALL YEAR in the NE, unlike SW FLORIDA which goes for months and months without any rain. Very difficult to have wildfires when it is RAINING.

Is this so difficult for you to understand? Florida = year round SUN = NO RAIN = WILDFIRES

220 acres of the Poconos are on fire every year? Little secret. The NE doesn't go for months and months without either rain or snow, which happens with the SUNSHINE STATE. Very difficult for wildfires to start when the ground is soaked from rain, or has SNOW on the ground. It is only when there is a severe draught (not common like Florida) that wildfires start.

You lose this one, buddy. Or are you going to try to say that the NE is now JUST LIKE FLORIDA???? Go ahead, try it.

This is no contest for me. I've been to PA and was not impressed. I like FL's climate much more. And the Cities are more fun. There is nothing special about Amish people except thier cookies . I love the beach and everything there is to do with to ocean; Swimming, snorkling, scuba diving, deep sea fishing, surfing, skim boarding, shelling, ect. Can't do any of that in PA.

It is hardly a SMALL chance in the Everglades. That is a very big price to pay for sunshine.

My water bills also reflect a very big price to pay for the year round sunshine. Anyway, it looks like the rainy season may have started. It's like a monsoon outside now.

Enjoy your fun in the sunshine now.

Not to difficult to understand that every area has wildfires.

PA Wildfire Contained - WETM 18 Online

(FILE AP) TIOGA - Firefighters in Tioga County Pennsylvania have managed to control a wildfire that’s been burning since this past weekend west of Wellsboro.

State forestry officials said 780 acres of state forest have burned near the Village of Rexford that’s in Shippen Township.

yes, I enjoy the rain. It keeps FL cool. And it leaves plenty of time to do things before sunset, if your not lazy.
