The climate has been and continues to be in constant change for many thousands of years. Lose in the end? Most of us here will be dead. Can't buy into this climate being shoved down our throats there's an agenda behind all this.

My other home is right on the intercoastal where I can watch the boats go by day and night, and we have our boat that we can go out on all day to anchor at the sand bar, or go with friends just to lunch or dinner. Sometimes we all head to Key West or Bahamas on one of our boats. It’s a great lifestyle; just obviously not yours. Everyone is different.

Can I hang with you? (& your friends)??

I could have moved across the street in Lake Deaton to have a good view of a golf course or go in with my brother to have a good view of the gulf waters. I chose to continue to stay where I am and purchase a top floor condo unit with Ted in Hudson for less than moving with these views. Everyone is different and can make their own choices in life.

Might as well ask why get up in the morning when you know all the horrible things that could happen to you. Why? We're gamblers. Every moment of our lives something could or might happen. We gamble that it won't, but sometimes we lose. Then, again, sometimes, we win, and life is good.

Its best not to live in a city run by climate change radical scholars. weather is an act of nature and whatever we do it will never change the weather.

I lived on the coast in Connecticut, not even the ocean, the Long Island Sound. I sold and moved away...... the next time I saw my house it made the NY Times during hurricane Sandy..... front page second section. Waves crashing through the glass front...... seawall gone. Knowing the power of Mother Nature, it's a nope for me.

I was on the water in Miami Beach but I was out of the country so much it wasn’t worth it so I sold it , in Boston I can see it but not on it . Before Covid came along I used to alternate winters ,Jan, Feb and March between being on the water in Miami,Hawaii and Thailand , I expect to start that again this winter. Why do people want to live on the water , because they can, and there’s nothing better then getting up and having that first cup of coffee looking at water

Because the chances of getting hit with a hurricane is very low. The last time Tampa got hit was in 1921, a Cat 3. Since 1873, there have been over 50 tropical cyclones passing within 100 nautical miles of the Fort Myers area. Twenty of these storms have been hurricanes passing within 75 miles of Sanibel Island and Ft. Myers, each of which posed a threat to property and lives on the Island. However none hit the barrier island or the city that it fronts directly. In fact many of those hurricanes passed well out in the Gulf, making landfall in the Florida panhandle or Alabama or Louisiana.

As it’s been described, Hurricane Ian was a 500-year storm.
