I'm just wonders if they want live or visit to Miami but I haven't been in here since 1992, before Hurricane Andrew is started.
 
For me, it does not matter, hurricane or no hurricane. I still would visit or live in Miami. The beach is simply too awesome to walk away from and I can enjoy alots of women.
 
I was born in Miami and leaving in 1991 then again to visit in 1992. I can careless about hurricane, also I just not want to escape from area and stuck in this place because I don't want spend on gas for car to escape from area but hurricane in Miami metro seems rarely to get big damage, happened in 1992 then again in 2005. Only Miami metro is appealing to my type and Orlando is also good for visit because of Disney World, Universal Studio and other thing to doing.

I don't like to live in rest of Florida except for Miami metro because of political reason and personal reason too. I have deal with high heat index and cause rashes on some part of body but I just avoid to work outside for excessive hours, stay in beaches are fine for long time, walk outside is fine.
 
For me, I'd rather to visit in Miami than living... My friend and I went down to the Miami-Ft. Lauderdale area on the Thanksgiving weekend in 2001. The weather down there was sunny and low 80's. I really like that weather. We toured several interesting spots, such as Seaquarium, Parrott Jungle, Everglades Alligator Farm, and South Beach. When we were at the Everglades Alligator Farm, we rode on an airboat and saw lots of alligators, snakes and wildlife shows. After that, we went to Miami Beach for swimming. The ocean water was warm, 77 degrees in end of November! We had lots of fun! I'll go back there someday.
 
I love Northwest too much to move down to the South. There are so much to do around here - beaches/mountains/lakes/rivers that one could never get bored here :)
 
I don't live very far from Miami, and I can honestly say that hurricane season is the one drawback to the area.

However, I don't think Miami should be demonized for it's hurricane potential. Lots of other areas are just as prone to hurricanes. Any coastal area, for instance.

Its really up to the individual and what they get out of living where they do.
 
Went there in March of 2004 for spring break (Miami Beach) i mean WOW...and the beach is awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Every area has a weather problem to worry about from hurricanes, tornadoes and earthquakes. I am sure there's more, but I don't know them. I dont' know why it is so popular to announce Hurricanes every year. There's tornado every year, and it's just as scary because you don't know where it's going to strike. The Hurricane is more predictable in my opinion.
 
I would like to visit Miami and other places in Fla, one day but living there nope.
 
I don't want to live in Miami. I don't mind visitin' there. ;)
 
Not here!!! I refused to live in Florida!!! For several reasons,,, hot and humid, plenty of huge pest, especially that hissing cockroaches, crocodile around, Hurrincane alley, higher insurance premium due to hurricane alley, too many old people still driving and not paying enough attention. , should I keep go on?
Hey, I know you live in Los Angeles.... I would LOVE to live in Los Angeles!!! I missed Los Angeles BIG time, haven't been there since 9/11. I think Hurricane is far worse than earthquake! ANyway, why would you want move to Florida? Los Angeles, I know can be hot, but not as humid as Florida! Think about it. Yea, I know these SMOG problem... oh well whadda me do?

Not all of Florida have these pests, you know? In where I live there are none of these around and I have never seen hissing cockroaches before. Are you aware that heat and humid can be worse in some other states than Florida?

I have experienced both hurricane and earthquake and I must say the earthquake was the worst experience I have encountered because with a hurricane coming we can be prepared but with an earthquake we cannot.
 
With an earthquake, think of it in military terms you got millions of incoming mortar and missiles coming at you really fast with no warning, just very sudden. You really have no control over it.

The same thing with earthquake, trees, book case, the ceiling the roof collaspes on you, power lines crash through houses shocking and killing entire families, things like that, man ..... Earthquakes are like this only 2 things, either you are alive maybe injuried really bad which requires serious hospitalization and big bills or you are simply dead. That is it.

I prefer the hurricane, at least you can see and know it is coming. There is really one option to leave the hurricane area for safer places. If you can't leave the area then seek sturdy shelter but really it makes more sense if you are gonna live in Florida to have an emergency plan in place before you even make the move to Florida. You could have family in say.... Chicago you go up there and stay there till the hurricane emergency passes on the t.v. news.

1) There's health insurance to cover injuries from earthquake.

2) Good luck with bigger and bigger mess up from hurricane damage.

3) I don't believe you about military then no more argue, period.

4) Hurricane is occured as many time every years and earthquake is rarer then we don't got one since 1933 then again in 1971 then again in 1994 and nothing new today. In SF, only occured in 1906 and again in 1989, then nothing new.

5) You need escape from hurricane with expensive gas prices or you will end up in hurricane, that no good.

Miami is alright for me but I just said that I can return to Miami because of where's my birthplace. I'm just fine to visit and live in Miami, also hurricane is more risky than earthquake. That's right about alot of old people live in other area than Miami metro and it seems annoying. I have live in LA for 13 years and love it alot, I just can staying in LA until die. Smog problem is not worse as in 1960's and 1970's, it getting more improving and traffic is so horrible. Traffic in Miami is bad too, traffic will be much worse during hurricane warning because they are escape from area before hurricane gonna screw it up.

Of course, I love Miami and I need visit again in next years or so.

Where are you from?
