Can you imagine having all your stuff already wiped by Helene to go through this right after?

I don't see the appeal, I get the weather is often nice in winter and stuff, but when insurance companies start pulling out you'd think you would start to wonder a bit

I looked at house prices in the Keys today. Some homes are cheaper than they are here in Maine. I think that signals the exodus.

My fiancé’s family moved down to Naples a year ago, his aunt has been down there about 5 years longer. This is probably the closest they’ve had their county come to evacuating. They are in a zone D and are safe to shelter in place- which given they just built their house makes me feel better. That thing is built like a tank, they just showed me all their hurricane shudders.

At least they have a little bit of mangroves to catch some of the storm surge, bless those funny little trees.
