In Florida, we see hurricanes as some of our only excitement each year. People take their plants and furniture in, stock up on gas and water, and then if it doesn’t hit it or isn’t that bad, mostly it feels like a disappointment. Historically we’ve gotten used to rebuilding things pretty quickly after a bad one. Plus, many buildings are engineered specifically to withstand hurricane force winds. So yeah, I’d rather live in a hurricane prone area in FL with a decent history of rebounding quickly than in California where an earthquake could strike at any moment and people generally just pretend they don’t happen.
