The wife and I just left Florida after 6 years. Just moved to Monroe and I have to say we have zero regrets. My home insurance was almost 6k and was expected to go up 30 to 40 percent. My present bill with Progressive is $929. Car insurance 30% less. I dreaded every hurricane season.....much prefer a blizzard prediction fro numbers! I guess I'll have to change my name to Jersey Hank!The CSU forecast comes out on 6/1 when the season officially begins, but their April forecast was also for a very active season, as have been all other forecasts, so far. I'll post my usual seasonal forecast summary then.
You won’t be the last person to move out of Florida. I was also reading about the septic tank problems in the Miami area due to the increasing sea level. Billions of dollars to correct and hopefully the Federal government doesn’t donate. I also read condo owners getting killed for assessment for 20 years ago and they passed a law that cash has to be on hand for the reserve after the condo building crash. This is also happening in California since I was looking at a condo one year with HOA of $300,mth but my brother looked the next year and the HOA was $850/mth. They were going to increase over the years to over $2,000/mth. Dangerous time to buy.The wife and I just left Florida after 6 years. Just moved to Monroe and I have to say we have zero regrets.

There a lot of that in California and my nephew in NYC pay about $2k for his coop which he purchased. Everybody tell him to move back to NJ after he had his baby but they want to live in NYC.$2k/month for HOA?!?!?! That’s insane
Well 80F waters (what’s needed for hurricane formation) is but 1/4 of the ingredients needed…frankly speed and directional sheer with altitude is far more significant.Seas are boiling
$2k a month is $850 more a month than my mortgage…🤯.There a lot of that in California and my nephew in NYC pay about $2k for his coop which he purchased. Everybody tell him to move back to NJ after he had his baby but they want to live in NYC.
