Thinking of moving to Florida in the next year

I should have thought about this before I posted the above.

New York, a good 1,000 miles away???? Has had cat 5 hurricanes.
Seeing the destruction of of Glory on n its flooding was crazy. But that’s not the worst! Not even a cat 4.

There was hurricane Sandy that was pretty bad, then there was Edna in 1954, there was one in the 20s (IIRC) that completely wiped out an entire town on eastern Long Island, very much like what Andrew did in Florida and it’s east to west path. Literally the buildings were gone down to the foundation. Nearly every last town member died. The town was erased from the map. Literally.

The most destructive was dubbed the “Long Island express” was a cat 3 in 1938. Agnus, ‘72, 1.2 billion in damage.
(That’s in 1972 dollars, not adjusted for today.)

If I brought this up in a certain way, it would make the Long Island area look worse than Florida. Everything‘s wording and these things worded a certain way just seems like fear mongering.
