Yeah, Florida has a lot going for it. Until it doesn't. My folks retired to Naples in 2016. 2017 Irma blew away their house. And savings. Just got their power back on an hour ago from this one. Luckily no major damage this time. But seems silly to live in a place that devastates you once a decade or so.
Every time I even think about moving there, I have to reconsider after such an event. I don't think I'd care much for the heat as I did when I was younger. Glad your folks got thru it ok. I was reading that not as many people have insurance to cover everything like you might imagine they would
:(

Yeah my folks inherited their place down there when my mom's dad died. And my grandpap's place, while nice and renovated, was old and no one would insure it. As I'm sure is the case for a lot of folks down there.
Lots of other places to retire to. I got my sights on New Mexico. Not sure why. Just always seemed like the desert is a good place to die lol.

The truth is very few want (or can afford) to lay out the massive insurance policy payment every month.
It would be like us trying to get earthquake insurance when we were living in the "ring of fire".
Average people simply cannot justify the financial drain.

It's pretty up by Taos and the red river.

The hotel room they gave me smells terrible, but I don’t have the energy to play the “sniff the room” game until I find the best one. Instead, I took out my Lavender body oil and dusted the entire room with it. Fucking stinky Mississippi. But gas is $ 2.89 a gallon!! Good times at the pump!
Buy a extra gas can and fill it lol damn!
