Moving to Florida this Weekend

RAT ROD AL said

Heading back to florida in the morning to check out an area between Ocala and Tampa. We moved north to western North Carolina last summer from SW Florida. Made it through our first winter in 12 years. They say it was the mildest winter they had in years here ! Tell you what, My wife never liked cold weather and I must have turned into a big wuss baby. Looking to move back to warmer climate just away from the coast to avoid the flooding we got in SW Florida 2 years ago. Bones and joints can't take the cold anymore !

Good luck with the new job and moving !

Thanks AL. I followed your hurricane thread. You guys got clobbered.

Ive been through the Nantahala gorge a couple of times and I think you guys are close to that. Its beautiful but, yes cold. And this winter was mild.

My wife is a little gun shy since we lived in Biloxi during Hurricane Katrina. We lived about 3/4 mile inland and only had privacy fence blown down and a live oak limb on our roof with minimal damage. But lots of damage everywhere!

Thing now is insurance. We will have a mortgage so we'll need insurance. We'll see how it goes once we get in place and start exploring.

Safe travels and hopefully you'll find your next forever home!!
