winter home

[oink]

Fl has lots of snakes, lots, plus gators, lots.
Not too much seasonal temp change in the keys. Hot and hotter.
Fl has more tropical storm damage potential and as a result much, much more costly insurance.
Fl has no real earthquake potential.
No lava in Fl.
For all practical purposes Fl is flat. The keys are essentially at sea level. Below on a bad day.
Climatic change in Fl would be N. Fl vs. S. Fl. N. Fl would be more like S. Ga., duh.
I would have to say Hi has more reef at least that which is noticeable. The keys has more and there are southern Fl reef bands farther off shore.
Fl winter water temps can be colder in Fl. In the summer think bath water.
"HI has less manmade ocean influences" I guess?
Fl has numerous State 4 year Universities.
Yes Hi is diverse but Fl has also become diverse. Florida's ethnic populations tend to be more localized.
Fl. is still heavily tourist dependent but Ag. (including cane) is still big. Tech is growing.
Yep, anyone can drive to Fl.
Florida probably has more top notch sand beaches than anywhere. Heck, they even closed one of our nicer beaches after a storm exposed some rocks which I thought was dumb.
