To each his own, but I think Florida blows. People move down there for "Nice" weather. Even when they're not worried about hurricanes, it's hot and humid. My parents use to live there for awhile and we've done the Orlando thing several times for the kids, but if I never set foot in that state again, it's fine with me.

We think alike; my grandparents moved down there years back and soon afterwards my grandfather died from a heart attack.
While it may have had nothing to do with it, I always blamed the hot & humid weather for his death; I've hated the place ever since.

Sounded like a freight train.....hit around 11:00 pm I think...

Last city I visited in Florida was Tampa Bay...that place does smell like ass, worse at times.
I got back last week from Sarasota county. The comment about Florida smelling like @ss is partly true.
In Manatee & Sarasota counties they are experiencing Red Tide. I also think there are more areas affected, but I was on different beaches in both counties. Let me say dead fish in the hot sun is not a good combination.
Florida is great. Great place to have a second home.

Not even the red tide stuff..
The swampy wet smell... It's just nasty..
I spent every spring break at my Grandmothers house in Miami from the age of 4 to 14 and I dreaded it every year...
I stay on Lido Beach (Sarasota County). Sarasota county has the $$$. Around here (CT) the Hyundai Accent is the low price commuter car, there it seems like the Mercedes C-Class is the "economy" car of choice.
I have been in some "back woods" areas of Florida last summer when we evacuated for Hurricane Charley.
Here is water shot from my trip. I think red tide forced the sea gulls to move as there were no birds on the beach. The water was around 90, calm and clear. At least we had no dead fish in front of where we were staying.

If you know the the right places to go Florida can be great.. it just knowing where to go and not to go.

Probably right... It's just I've been there a zillion times and I'm just not into it... Is there cool stuff to do - SURE! Tons of it..
The reality of it is I'm making decision based up maybe 15% of the state that I've been to... So I will remain open minded...
I actually have a bunch of friends who migrated down there with AT&T that I need to visit..
This thing has turned into a monster 160+mph winds. I hope it misses New Orleans it would reck that whole city. They also say that gas is going to go up due to the storm..Thats just great.

I'm surprised that no one has made a comment about "Katrina and the Waves" trying to make a comeback. Anyone remember that group? I didn't particularly care for them, but I thought their name was kind of...shall I say different.

Wow! This storm is going to pack a wallop. Gas prices will almost certainly go up. Lots of those off shore rigs will be closed for a bit. I read they are putting people up in the Superdome. With 100 MPH winds, I'm not so sure I'd want to be in a dome. The sound of the wind deflecting off the structure would scare the hell out of me.
Katrina and the Waves....What was their hit?
