how is that a geography lesson? and its far far less than that, the coast undulates and such. 100 miles is pretty fair sized and using your number, thats a 1/85 chance of being affected PER INCIDENT. IF the climate exaggerators are correct and FL will get 2-3 hurricanes of force 5 or larger a week...well your number comes up awfully fast...
in one 30 year span its a greater risk to your life and equity than anything else.
Depends on the size of the boat. And the skills and risk assessment of the owner. And the size, location and kind of hurricane
And the stupidity of the captain/owner!
Only a moron would take a boat out into a hurricane. Now, leaving ahead of time while it is still safe to go to another spot up or down the coast to escape a hurricane might not be a bad idea. But heading into one? Just plain stupid!
Jesus uses it in a metaphor way, but he says something that a man who builds his house on a rock is wise and a man who builds his house on sand is a fool.
Not sure about that rural thought. The Myakka River has flooded all over the place. That water is draining into the rivers. Little Manatee River, Alafia rising. We have low areas that do not drain by Arcadia etc Polk county has issues.
The Suwannee is decently close to me, and that and several other rivers create flood zone areas out a couple miles. So yeah, I’ll give you that part. But generally speaking, the concrete and asphalt do not allow drainage so the water goes into the sewers and then the roads start flooding, etc.
I was born in Miami. This is home. Not interested in living in another state. But we know how to mitigate hurricanes since young. The transplants don’t always know. I think it’s ridiculous to build so close to water. Miami Beach built before all this technology explained it all in detail. High rises do not belong by salt water it’s the city who approves the build. $$$ money talks, now there’s regret
Agree with you there. I was also born in Miami and left after Hurricane Andrew. A piece of my heart resides in Wisconsin but we will likely never go back there for multiple reasons. At least they can sort of predict where hurricanes will end up so you have a general idea of how much preparing you might need to do.
The Great Lakes region...the midwest...interior areas of these states...anywhere away from the coastlines.
You guys get snowstorms at the very least. We got one in Milwaukee just a couple months after we moved there and being a Florida transplant, I was totally lost as to how to handle it. There can be severe weather and acts of God anywhere you go. You have to pick what you’re willing to deal with.
