Red seems pretty pro 2nd Amendment so that is why I mentioned it.I think those whack jobs like the guy at the movie theater he'd have done that in Bora Bora if he lived there.

Well there is hardly a state that is safe from some form of natural disaster.
I have always lived in inland Florida I think it is stupid to live right along the beach like many do that is asking for trouble just from beach erosion much less storms.

I all of roughly 30 years living in Florida I have only been effected by 2 storm one was a massive Nor'easter back in 91(I think) which nailed all of the Eastern Seaboard as far inland as Pennsylvania.

Then in 2004 while on leave no less two hurricanes came through nearly back to back that sucked but it did no serious damage beyond knocking the power out for 2 weeks.

Few people realize that there is a massive fault line in the Eastern US that is still active one day it is going to do some serious damage sooner or later.Or how about the volcanic activity under Yellowstone National park which will cause a massive eruption at some point 5 minutes from or 10,000 years from now (?) so massive that it will cover the entire planet in ash on a scale large enough to possibly cause mass extinction.

Not that bothered.

I'll enjoy my time with a my un-caged bear as I drive down the road in a hurricane while shooting people who text during movies.

By the way I'll be moving to Kentucky to become a partner in my cousins trucking company in the spring so soon the hurricanes won't kill me but the New Madrid fault line or sink holes might kill me up there.
