The “Water Cooler” is a feature on Claycord.com where we will ask you a question or provide a topic, and you will talk about it.
The “Water Cooler” will be up Monday-Friday at noon.
Today’s question:
QUESTION: Would you ever move to a state that experiences hurricanes and/or tornadoes on a yearly basis?
Talk about it….
No
No, I’ll take my chances with the earthquakes!
No, I have a good friend who lives on Marco Island in Florida, every few years he is affected by a hurricane. Before he retired there, it was his vacation home, and often after a hurricane he had to travel from Boston to Florida to take care of stuff, big hassle.
I lived in New Orleans for one and a half year, and there was one hurricane that affected New Orleans, but it wasn’t that closed. We didn’t have to go to a shelter, just strong winds, lots of rain, and it got very dark.That is about as close I want to get to a hurricane.
No!
Son moved to Texas about 20 years ago and loves it down there. Has three successful businesses. Wife and I are staying in dysfunctional disaster of California because of Great Grandkids. That said if Grandson and his wife decided to also move to Texas, we’re outta here. Natural disasters are recoverable from, woke political disaster that is California under democrat governance . . . not so much.
Possibly retire to Nashville
Nope, California is my home, and I have no desire
to live somewhere that has life alternating
weather. California may be experiencing political
problems, and some folks are running away to
escape them. That’s their prerogative, but I still
enjoy living here. If I ever do decide to move, it
will be somewhere with nice weather.
A little snow once in a while is OK, but not so
much that I have to shovel it every day.
I thought about moving to the Midwest. After staying for a week in kirkville, MO, I changed mine mind.
Not intentionally. I decided long ago I could never live east of the Rockies due to hurricanes, tornadoes and humidity. I’ll stick with boring earthquakes, snow and rain
I prefer earthquakes over hurricanes. In earthquake country there is no warning and most of us spend little to no time getting ready. The earthquakes, when they happen, cause little to no widespread damage. The media will hyper-focus on the few areas that have visible damage while ignoring the millions in the immediate area that were not impacted. Hurricanes though cause a day or more of disruption for millions of people with the talking heads guessing at where it will impact and how bad it will be. The hurricane finally hits and so you hunker down if you are in an impacted area. Then there is widespread cleanup for days to months. A full recovery from a hurricane takes years. I’m not familiar with tornadoes though they seem to be somewhere between earthquakes and hurricanes.
