The big problem with FL is that in the event of nuclear war the state is full of high value targets. That said, the prevailing winds would blow any fallout from west to east and extreme SW Fl might be a good place to live out the apocalypse.

I've got it pretty much figured out. When the EMP/asteroid/whatever hits and the country is suddenly plunged into the Stone Age, I've got this list of prepper gear I've downloaded. I figure I'll just log into Cabelas, pull the trigger on that order, and wait until the UPS guy comes with everything I need in the van.
Then I'll eat him.
Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.
Church community, good farm land, ocean for seafood and water desalination and cut off from everywhere when the bridges blow.
The problem with that big green area in the East is that it’s too full of people. Now after a few years when the population thins then yeah. There’s simply no way the country will furnish enough wild game to support populations of that size. Think smaller populations in sparsely populated areas.
Thank you for the “ping” & the heads up
Not to mention the New Madrid Fault [major earthquake zone]
Laz is stuck in Atlanta. In other words he is so screwed.
I’d offer for him to come bug out with us if it wasn’t just SO SO SO SOOOO AWFUL out here.
You need to actively defend your entire communities. What good is protecting your house if your entire neighborhood of scaredy cat cuckasians too afraid to use their weapons has been taken over by hominids?
I am so screwed.
I’m planning to move dead center to the area within the next three years if my planning continues.
I think gulf side of Florida would be good. You can arm youself, you wouldn’t freeze if it happened during winter and you can heat up canned goods on the grill if the power goes out. Where I am you have to cross a bridge to get here. I’m sure they would be guarded in the event of civil unrest. At least that’s why I just retired here.
Reminds me of the Jimmy Durante’s do I go or do I stay
Jefferson. That’s pretty much the Cascades(#3) in the article.
STAY AWAY from NW Arkansas and NE Oklahoma. The libs have taken over the corridor from Fayetville to Bella Vista. Urban sprawl is reaching epidemic or cancer like proportions across the region.
The other factor in the Eastern Counties of NE Oklahoma is the huge percentage of people that are on welfare. They are looking for a handout every day and are not even remotelyl prepared for a disaster. They live day-to-day and will be the first out foraging if they can get up the energy for it. Oklahoma also has almost NO healthcare in these areas and the state budget is in the dumper for all manner of things.
There are 90 odd casinos in Oklahoma as well. They don’t exactly encourage centers of excellence or virtue.
Count me out. I'd rather wrestle zombies than be around Temperance League types.
Need an active spoofing campaign delivering misinformation, with the objective of preoccupying any urban refugee three days. Leads pointing to federal assistance goodies away from your location might suffice—a federal assistance rope-a-dope? Sufficient water and food deprivation should effectively check any mob’s capability to ransack the countryside.

Those maps are so old, obsolete, and exaggerated, they are laughable.
Oh...and welcome to FR. Whereabouts in FL are you? We have a place in Longboat Key, FL. ...need a Freeper meetup if you are in Sarasota. Good eats down there.
Thee USA is 50 countries with a weak Federal Government task with a few things like defense, border control and the money supply. When the collapse comes maybe we can go back to that original model.
