I moved to Florida in 2022...I moved in the middle of the state and not so close to the Gulf or Atlantic coast... Away from the living near the breathe and your better off as far as hurricanes... That's not to say you won't experience them and they can be rough... But the coastal areas are by far hardest hit..... Good luck and come enjoy the sun and warmth!!😊
Hmmm...I live in a community with over 300 homes - most pre-94. They have seen more hurricanes than most 55+ folks moving here will ever see and they are not only still standing, but they are in great condition. I am a few miles inland, which helps. We do get some occasional roof damage and I've seen carport damage in nearby communities. But the same has been true in Orlando, Lakeland, and similar. Now within a mile or less and right on the water (think flood zone) - There I'll agree with you unless you can afford a total loss. (which many can and it's a lot cheaper than a condo similarly situated).
@@RussellWatsonFMHL Right. Hurricanes are real. But they are a distant threat. It's a matter of fate and chance. Your chances are usually good in Florida I'd say.
Yes, some communities got hit in those storms but others were virtually untouched. I teach the idea you can reduce hurricane risk buy locating in certain areas of the state so in a very general way I agree. And, there is no question you greatly increase risk of major damage in a hurricane that hits your area if you are on the water or within a very short distance; no matter what type of home you have. But there are beachfront communities in Brevard county that have been there since the 80's with minimal damage. It's a trade-off and each has to evaluate their needs and financial position vs. risk.

I would love to come down and check it out But sadly We are stuck here Up north In a real winter wonderland!
If I moved to a Mobile Home in Florida, where would I build my model railroad?
The living room?
Stay away from the coast. These communities do not fair well during hurricanes.

@RussellWatsonFMHL look at all the damage from Venice down to Naples.
