Florida might be fucked. These storms will get worse.. and then WORSE. And more frequent.

28. I retired to SW Florida because

I wanted a tropical garden. And with the speculative boom and bust cycles I found a place that, after more than three decades as a nurse, I could afford. But it isn't a concrete block house, it is wooden framed, and it was built in 1988, so it is one of the oldest houses around here. My insurance was cancelled and Citizen's isn't going to be an option unless I get a new roof, new wiring, and maybe not even then since it is a frame home. But the uncleared lot next door sold for half again as much as I paid for my house. And anyway my niece and nephew don't need the money and aren't going to have children.
I feel badly for others though. It feels like the stories that news reports covered of Russia and Eastern Europe after communism fell may happen here.
