They have to have someplace to go. I own the nicest houses at the bottom end of the local market. Thanks to hurricane Michael there are no open units and moving means farming out the kids and/or a huge step down in a poor neighborhood in Tallahassee. The women won’t stand for it. The only guy who accepted had just seen his wife arrested and returned to prison for a parole violation. His parents took the kids, who at eleven and thirteen were turning tricks to schoolboys.
Another reason I'll take cold weather over warm. We really have only six weeks or so of really miserable weather here in the wintertime and it is generally filled with thawing breaks to make it tolerable.
Hurricanes are usually just lot of rain and wind by the time they make it here. Earthquakes and tornadoes, while not unheard of, are rare and relatively mellow.
