So frustrating the political comments. Florida is purple, and if Democrats don’t come “because of the politics” it will just stay that way rather than actually shifting to be more blue. You can be part of the movement to change the state! Every vote counts here, every single one. You can make a difference and it’s 29 electoral votes! You can be part of the change. It’s beyond me why activists aren’t all saying, “I’m moving to Florida to make a difference.”
I don’t even believe it anyway, it sounds to me more like some sort of statement that liberals like to say as a way to identify themselves. It seems to me it’s people not planning to move to Florida anyway who throw in that extra tidbit. There are some extremely blue counties in Florida, you can live there and be surrounded by liberals, and your everyday life will be the same as living in NYC regarding the people you interact with.
The Q is about weather anyway.
@RayaHope Being inland makes you less vulnerable, because the hurricanes lose their strength over land. Also, being away from water helps avoid being flooded, and flooding is usually the worst part.
You don’t even have to be very far inland, like Orlando, you can just be 15 miles in from the coast and usually that’s enough as long as the house is newer built with the newer roof codes and having hurricane shutters for the windows.
