Florida, the Gulf states and up the East coast are in for a hell of a time in the coming years. Being so close to the ocean will prove even more costly.

Glad I live in Minnesota. The snow is melting and we are mindful here of environmental impacts on climate. That is not to say we here do not have our share of bad weather. We all do our part in any way we can, it matters in the long run.
