I lived on the coast for 17 years because I worked at Kennedy Space Center. In 2004 I was evacuated every three weeks for 3 months, suffered $14000 in damages to my home, and many more than insurance would pay, plus downed trees and hotel costs in safer areas . Bless you Hilton for taking such good care of us, without price gouging. In fact, they had a special "evacuee" rate of only $59 per night, can you believe that? Plus they ignored the no pets policy, provided a special area for walking dogs, ignored my wailing cat, and had a special security guard patrolling the parking lot all day and night. That is why I am a loyal Hilton customer. Sorry for digressing, but the decision was made there and then, get inland. I will never live coastal again.
