I hope they bought those properties up. I'm 10 miles inland and my property is still only 3 feet above sea level.
For people who live in South Florida. Is now the time to exit?

Sadly that's true if most people, especially poor people.
It bugs me out to see the people I grew up with still just hanging in the projects where we were raised and never really doing shit else.
It’s all subjective. Florida is great most of the year every year until a hurricane comes. Residents are realizing yearly battles with hurricanes is becoming old as hell. @EPDC
IMO, weather-wise, NC, Va, MD, and eastern PA has less extreme weather than most places.
All east coastal cities will feel the effects of climate change, and a hurricane will accelerate those effects if they are directly hit.
NC and SC is due for a major hit. Houston is probably the most prepared to deal with climate change.
Tornadoes are increasing in just about every place in the US, so there is no escaping those.
I don’t know about that Harvey really did a number to Houston.
Basically
And all things considering, they handled it well.
That’s one of the worst storms and many cities couldn’t handle that flooding. If it’s yearly thing, then that’s different.
NPR had a great piece on this exact thing a few years back:
Over the past few years, Miami native Trenise Bryant has seen her neighborhood, the African-American enclave of Liberty City, start to change. Bryant grew up in one of the area's oldest public housing projects, Liberty Square. Lately, rents have gone up, and Bryant has seen people priced out and forced to move away.
One factor driving this, Bryant says, is climate change.
Miami is projected to face anywhere from 1 to 3 feet of sea level rise by 2060, and as sea levels rise, higher ground inland has started to look more and more desirable. Much of that higher ground is in the city's poorest neighborhoods, like Liberty City and Little Haiti. As Bryant puts it, it has turned land in these communities into "caviar."
Loved my time in FL but happy to be back in my home state of NY. I'd take a blizzard every time over a hurricane. The insurance (roof/storm related) rates and politics of the sunshine state were the main factors of us getting the fuck out.
I'm literally studying the course for my property adjuster license right now.
definitely want to do CAT claims like you said
All else fails I may do it too. I got no kids.
Seen this on Facebook
No
Damn, I hope all who are on this board and their families who reside in and around that area remain safe and dry.
I called my mom and sister and they are fine but it’s a lotta fucking water down there and it’s not going anywhere anytime soon. South Florida drainage depends on the low ocean tide and the ocean tide is running extremely high.
yes
Man, what’s life for you looking like in the future down there? Going to stick it out?
No, this is mother nature, because the same type of crap is happening all over the world. The weather pattern is out of whack. The human race do not have anything that powerful yet to affect global weather patterns.
I told my mom and sister the same thing. This shit Al Gore was saying is coming true pretty fast.
