Thinking of moving to Florida in the next year
32764 2.5 acres wooded/3000 sf living, 20 years and no complaints
32738 1/4 acre/1800 sf living, 18 years and the only complaint was the neighborhood closed in around us.
As far as hurricanes are concerned: my daughter moved from S. FL to W. TN's tornado's. Same difference.
If your working in a city look 30 minutes out of town, that's where the sane people live(while mostly sane)
You cant predict the weather to make a difference.
