There is a problem with this line of thinking- Cities and states paying higher taxes due to hurricane seasons. For one, as said by MacParrot above, it's not predictable and one hurricane hit Florida after 25 years without a hurricane hitting. Which cities do you consider the worst hit? You can't predict this.People pay for insurance to rebuild their homes. The insurance companies are then at fault if they don't pay. California is besieged by fires for quite a while now. Should we close the state of California and Louisiana? Perhaps we should keep going and close down Mississippi due to hurricanes. Andrew hit Florida pretty well, let's close Florida. Hell, while we're at it, I live in New York, let's close it. 9/11 caused a lot of damage and death. The USA is looking pretty tiny right now. The disabled are siphoning out a few pockets. Those wheelchair assessable building are a bit costly. I hope you don't live in one of them because that should be shut down too if your theory is right.
OOOOOPS! I said Andrew hit in 1997. I should have said 1992. Considering I was getting married at the same time Andrew was wreeking havoc with South Florida I should have known better. My bad and I'm sorry
Hope everything turned out ok. I have a friend in Ponchatoula. I havnet talked to her, but another one of our friends said she rcv'd a text from her saying all was OK. THANK GOD!

Buried. This is no longer accurate. It's a Category 3.

That's what happens when you decide to live in a city next to the sea that was built below sea level...
