Do hurricanes reach Orlando, FL or the surrounding cities?

Question

I really want to move to Florida but I'm afraid to the hurricanes.

Answer 1

yes they do, but not with the force that the coast residents receive, I ve been here for 9 years and have gone thru 2 that really hit hard, but when I came from up north I said to my self, I guess Ill go live in an old established neighborhood like winter park, college park or nearby areas (mostly cinder block homes), they have been around for years. And I can say that lots of trees fell in my area, but not one single house went down, we did loose a lot of roof shingles.... You may notice in the news that most of the homes that you see severely damaged are the newer constructions.

Answer 2

Yes, they do reach FL and/or surrounding cities. The 2004 hurricane season We had 3 come through and did some serious damage to some areas, and minor to others. Fortunately I was lucky enough to only lose power each and every time. But some areas looked honestly as bad as New Orleans after Katrina went through. I was also working at Disney at the time, and they did wonders cleaning up the big things in record time, but some areas (backstage) still need some serious help done to them. The hurricanes really aren't that bad though, it's kind of like an extended thunder storm. As long as your prepared with the essentials (Water, dry food, flashlight, etc...) you'll be fine.
Hope this helps, and if you do decide to move here you'll love it!!!

Answer 3

Yes, they sometimes do reach Orlando. It depends on the path the storm takes. Hurricanes sometimes come all the way up the East Coast to New England!

If you REALLY want to move to Florida, go ahead. Just heed the warnings and be prepared. Everywhere you go there are dangers. In New England we deal with hurricanes in the summer and the risk of blizzards in the winter. California has earthquakes, the midwest has tornadoes.

You can't live in fear. Just make sure you have a healthy respect for Mother Nature. Good luck!

Answer 4

For those who started off all this nonsense about rape being redefined as so many innocuous things or even as any form of heterosexual sex, in the same way as domestic violence is now 'defined' as so many innocuous things, and is only applicable when the complainant is a woman - the same rule applies. They have zero interest in people as human beings - only as a means to an end - yet these same people decry some mythical Patriarchy as perpetrating 'oppression' of women, saying that is is using people as a means to an end. Not only do these people have an absolute lack of interest and concern for the men adversely affected, they also have no concern for the women adversely affected, whether it be by not having a legitimate complaint acted on, or by being gulled into making a false complaint and thus running the chance of criminal prosecution. This is a very interesting game here :- Firstly, if all complaints are accepted and acted on, they win, by being able to point out that men, all along, were the rapists they claim them to be, and thus must be 'oppressors'. This also carries the bonus of disempowering men falsely convicted socially, legally, financially and in every way. (And some try to say that these people are not waging a war against us!). Secondly, if genuine complaints are turned away, they can shout from the rooftops that women are being abused and discriminated against by the Patriarchy, in the guise of police and the judiciary. Thirdly, if women are prosecuted for making false claims, they again win by being able to say that women are being abused for making rape complaints and are being oppressed all over again, with the net result being that The Patriarchy has won and it is now fair game for all women to be raped. This is what comes of sitting for too long in perfume-filled rooms and discussing the ins and outs of things - you either lose perspective OR you see a golden opportunity to make a killing any which way you cook the goose! It's a bit like your Kafka trap thing, and I am beginning to wonder if it is a genuine orchestrated campaign, encouraging women to make as many complaints as possible so as to falsely generate some conclusion in their favour.
