Some Floridians fed up

I can't blame the people of Florida for getting the hell away. There are 6-10 named storms every year. Each produces flooding, damaged homes, injuries and sometimes death. With searing summer temps, oppressive humidity, and rain, why is anyone living there?

AP has provided a story about some Floridians throwing in the towel:


    "How much more can we take?" asked Campbell, whose barrier island home on Navarre Beach sits near the spot where Hurricane Dennis rolled ashore Sunday. "I kind of feel like I keep experiencing a death over and over again."

    Even though Dennis largely spared the home Campbell shares with her aircraft mechanic husband, the recurring stress of evacuating, coming back to see the damage and rebuilding has become too much for either of them to bear.

    "This is very emotional," she said. "You get the adrenalin all running for the evacuation, and you get the adrenalin running for coming back to see if your house is completely blown away."
