Hi! I grew up on L.I. too.
We moved to Tampa in 1997 and never regretted it.
For lightning we have the SECO whole house surge
protector. In addition surge protectors on all the
electronic stuff.
The quality of life here cannot be beat. You can't worry
About what could happen.
You got hit by Hurricane Sandy up there. I haven't lived
through a hurricane in the 17 years I've been down here.
And after living with the traffic and congestion of New York
you will really enjoy T.V.
Good luck with your decision!
