Sorry, i don't get it. Why are people still moving to coastal Florida?

93. That's not it, at all. It's the opposite.

People who grow up there or live there long enough experience many hurricanes, and realize that they can survive them. Hurricane-resistant construction codes combined with the world's greatest drainage engineering far surpassing Venice -- along with millions of people who have lots of practice surviving hurricanes -- means that most people don't evacuate unless its mandatory. Everyone prepares. Windows are boarded up. Canned foods are stockpiled. Water is stashed. The community comes together, neighborhood-by-neighborhood.

Winter kills more people than hurricanes and tornadoes combined, but we who live in cold places learn to survive and even thrive.

Nobody's trying to diminish how bad these last two hurricanes were, especially in succession like that. It was bad.

But if one has never survived a hurricane -- never mind dozens of them like long-time Floridians have -- all the fear-mongering comes off as a little hysterical. It's a great big complicated world and people move places for lots of reasons. The big three being family, work, and family.
