Perfect no. Plan ahead yes. It is easy to find out the information you need.Misty » 12 Sep 2017 8:16 pm » wrote: Well aren't you just perfect.
Too bad everyone doesn't live up to your standards.
I bought a house several miles inland since the coast and keys take a horrible beating in a hurricane. The outline of the keys gets modified during a hurricane. Coastline as well. At times 15 to 20 foot rise in water level comes as the hurricane passes and the winds will push it inland. Houses on the keys and coast are in danger of destruction. First the rain water flows toward the sea tugging away the sand in one direction around the base of the building. Then it reverses and is pushed inland again washing away more from the base of the building. Lastly the storm has passed and the water goes back to the sea. If when the building was built this wasn't considered the building is in serious danger of being destroyed. Read about this happening. John D. McDonald wrote a book about a large apartment building collapsing this way. It took place on a mythical key between 2 real keys in Sarasota. He lives in the Sarasota area. His book was researched well and is very accurate about what a hurricane does.
