Some retirees are rethinking Florida after Irma

48. Yeah - wait until the winter. They will be rethinking.

As a former Realtor, I noticed clients went for a few years of being a bit more concerned about hurricanes but that was soon forgotten. People just made sure to get hurricane glass. I just got my power back on and already pretty forgotten it - just as I did with the last 2 hurricanes that the power went out for a week or so. I know it sounds goofy but I will never move back to that cloudy, freezing cold winters that last forever.

I wouldn't mind be a bit further north in Florida like Tampa/St. Pete because it is s bit cooler. South Florida is a bit too hot sometimes but unless you have an outdoor job - you go from your very well air conditioned home to your very air/conditioned car to your air-conditioned job, air conditioned shop or to the refreshing pool that most everyone has in their community or home or neighborhood. I love the sunshine, mainly cheerful people instead of glum, non-smiling people and always having an option to go to the beach or pool anytime I want.
