lj: Up to a Cat 5. What a crock of crap. Another storm hitting the lower West Coast of Florida, on the wrong side of the storm. Years ago, someone my mother used to see at bingo moved to Florida. Years later, the woman returned to the bingo. She said that after her third evacuation on the East Coast, she gave up and returned to Maryland. Fast forward to now, and add insurance premiums into the equation. Coastal Florida is not a great place to live anymore, unless you rent.
