Hurricanes are a bit scary, especially when they get to be category 3 and up... Where we used to live was near the worst destruction from Hurricane Andrew in '94... And then where we moved to and live now was hit hard by Charley, Frances, Jean, and Ivan about 6 years or so, ago... We were in the process of moving when the first of the storms hit, and the house we were moving to got demolished by the time the third storm got through with it. Definitely no fun...
Too right, they just keep building and building. What kills me is they started building houses right before the economy tanked, so a lot of the new houses that just got built a couple years back are still sitting there vacant. Our booming population in Florida is mainly boosted by illegal immigrants from Mexico and Cuba... If I am ever able to go anywhere other than my house and not hear Spanish it is a bleeding miracle. Miami itself is practically an extension/colony of Cuba (another reason I was glad to leave it)... But that is a different story altogether, lol...
Anyways... I'll get off my soapbox now, hehe...

I love soapboxes so carry on. Its a great way to learn how the other half live.
Its a wonder anyone lives in a place that has those hurricanes.
Must be terrifying. Are the houses built so that somehow you can go down below and hide?
so you have many illegal immigrants from Mexico and CuBA. I suppose its difficult to stop them entering. I am pretty ignorant re climate. So have to ask why there are so many storms that way?
Do the immigrants take work away from locals do you reckon?
I believe that parts of Japan are also exposed to very bad weather and earthquakes
