We're not sure yet. We've spent a few weeks over the years running around in Florida. My sister-in-law lives in Cape Coral. We're leaning towards the Gulf coast, but nothing definite for a few more years as we narrow it down.

When I check the historical records, I see that Jacksonville has not been in the track of a hurricane for years...

And Jacksonville does get into the freezing range for a couple of weeks a year... Orlando is on the line between freezing and no freezing - some years we get a morning or two around 30 degrees...

Of course - a few years ago we had four hurricanes cross the Orlando area... Smile

That included Charlie. My sister-in-law got all 4 of them and managed to only have a 4 hour power outage during one of them. They were lucky, but she said after that she'd never ride out another. They now head up to the in-laws in Georgia if there's a threat.

Yes indeed it did...

Charley, Frances, Ivan and Jeanne....

And a couple of "almost" hits... Florida really got thumped that year. Smile

We lost a few trees, no house damage, and power outage for 2 days total between the four storms. Not as bad as it could have been.. all told.

Yes, my folks live in Polk County and got those 4 that one year. I was on the phone with my mom during one of them and could hear the winds and the house rattling!
