Worst decision ever

Sis#1 must think she's made the worst decision (okay...one of the worst) in her life.

Last year...she moved to Florida. Right before all those hurricanes. Thankfully, her family and her home was unharmed by all the devastation that happened due to the hurricanes.

This year? Hurricane D is on its way to Florida. We're all hoping that Sis#1 and the family come away unscathed once again this hurricane season.

Of all the places in the United States, why'd she pick Florida? The rest of us think its the farthest point away from us that's still in a warm region. They've already lived through snow storms. Too many. So that's why she and Rambo decided to "retire" in Florida.

Before they made their final decision of their destination, the rest of us were giving them information for affordable areas near us. Last year, she could have purchased a 4 bedroom 2.5 bath for less than $200k in my neck of the woods. This year? She'd be lucky to get a 2 bedroom 2 bath for that amount. My parents were saying they should move up to an area about 50 miles north of them. The homes are still affordable. It's a more open area (not as built up). So they could be close to my parents AND Rambo's Mom.

Anyway, I wonder if they are now rethinking their relocation decision. I know I would be researching like a maniac!
