Re: Florida issues

Actually, where the coast curves there, you're safe from hurricanes. The last one to come directly in at that area was Hurricane Dora, in '69, and it came in dead for Jax. Now, if a storm crosses the state, that's different. You need to see what side of the storm you're on. If you're on the right side of it, you're in the bad quadrant, where tornadoes and such spawn off.

And, the entire south is nothing but unrelenting heat! Try New Orleans. That's got St. Augustine beat. BTW, England does get hurricane force winds. And tornadoes. And heat waves.

No matter where you live, you will have bad weather. Try living in Southern Spain, with frequent, severe droughts and levantes, hot, dry winds from the desert in Africa. Nothing but blowing sand, stinging your skin, etc.

You just have to take the good with the bad, no matter where you live. Good luck with your move to St. Augustine. You'll like it, I'm sure.
