What about Hurricanes? |
|
Being a Floridian I am asked hundreds of times a year from people moving to the area…”What about hurricanes?” I can only share with you what I know and the facts. 1st. I have lived in Florida for 40 years on the Gulf coast and actually have had to put up storm shutters once. Hurricanes are one of Natures only predictable natural disasters. When storms come into the news we watch them for a week or so. You cant do that with earthquakes, tornados, wild fires, and others. You just don't have the warning. So if I am going to have to deal with the possibility of natural disasters I’ll take Hurricanes. At least in Sarasota we can plan and with planning and acting on the advice from the professionals, safety from the storm is available. Of course no one knows what the future holds but below is some information and historical facts you might be interested in when thinking about where in Florida to buy your home. I am sure you will agree Sarasota located just below Tampa Bay is a pretty good place to be in comparison. |
