(1,308 posts)I grew up in South Florida. Hurricanes were just a fact of life. Got used to it.
Lost electricity maybe, that's it.
Moved to Maryland at age 26, suburb of DC, had to get used to snowstorms, losing
electricity, spring and fall changes.
Moved back to South Florida at age 70. Live in a detached home in Delray Beach
15 minutes from the beach. Not in a flood zone. Live on a lake. No flooding. No snow.
Birds and ducks in the backyard. Vote democratic. Work for gun control, against
DeSatan. Found like minded people. Although the cultural climate here is not as
plentiful as in Maryland, we've found our peeps: Jazz afficionados, book clubs,
theater venues, writing groups. (Hub and I are both writers.)
Don't live on the beach. We live 15 minutes a day and about once a week
we spend happy hour on the beach. What could be better than that?
