It may be a little early to be thinking about the future of the areas devastated by the Hurricane that hit Louisiana and Mississippi but I am doing it anyway.
If you were given money to rebuild, would you rebuild down there again?
I would have to say I certainly wouldn’t. Already there were warnings for good portions of that area of being eligible for disappearing under water, I think the Hurricane should be enough to push someone over the edge and think, “yep, someplace else would be nice”.
And quite honestly, you have to question the people around you if they turn to shooting at passing helicopters that are trying to rescue folks.
I live in Michigan, I admit, I hate winter. This isn’t a good state for me because of that. However, I live in SE Michigan so it isn’t horribly bad and I have both a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon and a Dodge Ram 2500 4×4 Power Wagon (it is an Off Road Edition RAM heavy duty pickup truck) so I don’t care how much snow falls I can get to where I want to go, .5 inch or 5 feet of snow is the same to me . I grew up in NW Michigan up near Traverse City and many of my relatives still live up there so I spend Christmas up there and other holidays. I know what snow is all about and I do not find it to be fun other than the fact that I know my vehicles will get through any of it even if other folk’s vehicles can’t.
All that being said, I can’t work out someplace to move to. Everyone else seems to have issues worse than snow and cold weather half the year. I have no desire for hurricanes, tidal waves, floods, bugs, tornadoes, earthquakes, volcanoes, smog, etc. Seems like every area has issues, but I am thinking a snow storm is a little easier to deal with than some of those other things.
