[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First, Sanibel is not an island full of rich people’s vacation homes.  There is an entire community on that island.  It’s been a long time since a storm has hit this part of Florida. When I lived in Mississippi, our house was damaged by a tornado.  Twice. Does that mean no one should live in tornado prone states?  We had snowmageden in NoVA.  That was an expensive storm.  Should the entire mid-Atlantic be desolate? I was in an earthquake in California.  No one should live there?  Hurricane Ewa hit while I was living in Hawaii. Most parts of the US are prone to some type of National disaster.  We’ve owned our home in Florida for 30 years.  We are coastal.  We have never even lost a shingle.

Second, Florida has plenty of money.  That’s why our kids don’t pay to go to college.  That’s why we have no state income tax. Tourism is very lucrative. Rebuilding will be expensive.  Tourist dollars will help.

Finally, if you’ve never lived in Florida, your opinions on evacuation, storm readiness, housing, etc are meaningless. You have no idea what you are talking about. [/quote]

Fine, as long as you don't ask for Federal money to rebuild, we'll stay out of your business.  Deal?[/quote]

ALL states receive federal assistance after a national disaster.  Not just Florida. [/quote]
Yes, but Florida had a whole bunch of members of Congress who didn’t vote for federal assistance after disasters that weren’t in Florida.[/quote]
