With two major hurricanes in as many weeks, some Florida residents say they’ve had enough of dealing with hurricanes and issues associated with them. One survey found that nearly 12 percent of Florida residents say they plan to leave the state in the next year because of rising insurance costs. NBC News’ Marissa Parra reports.

#florida #hurricanes #realestate
Seems like Vegas is the only place that has naturals disasters and cheaper than California
Desantis says its all a hoax !
News flash, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina also get hurricanes. As we all have learned over the last decade, the climate is changing!!!! Just ask Asheville residents…
Or just don’t move to the coast
It was my wife’s and my thought we’d end up there for retirement but no longer.
oh my god stay there we don’t need another influx of ppl and riding home prices
It’s foolish to keep rebuilding only to get flooded again
now you know why insurance rates are high they don’t wanna keep paying for it either
Instead of paying $11k insurance premiums just build for 25ft foods and cat 6 winds
Good were full anyways. I hear tennesee is nice.
What do you expect if you move to a hurricane prone area of the state.
Good yall need to leave. Im sick if all of you nasty northerners ruining my state
Illinois? You have tornados every year, theyre worse by far
I knew it 😂😂😂 Florida not for the weak. Good bye, take all of the detritus from NY and PA and SC back with ya. They’re clogging the air down here. No real Floridian drags limb in shorts.😂
Normies in the comments acting like the rest of the country is natural disaster free and tornados, forest fires, earth quakes, ice storms, blizzards, hail storms, volcanos and droughts dont exist😂
if you live in the states, you don’t know TRUE earthquakes
@@decollector95 idk about that I think California has had some pretty devastating ones in the past
@@Trollollolollol people act like we have bad ones every day. california is a big state, and people have been wishing for/predicting “the big one” so we float off into the ocean, but I don’t see it happening anytime soon
I’ve lived my entire life in CA and can count on one hand noticeable earthquakes I’ve experienced. a few seconds of disorientation. no lives lost, destruction of property, etc. probably different if I were living down south by the coast, but even then that’s nowhere near what countries like japan experience regularly
She’s 60?! 😮
Florida native here- Buh Bye now. People have short memories
If I lived in Florida, I would rent intead of buying a condo or house. If your apartment or house is destroyed by a hurricane, you could just move to another place, plus there is no HOA and home owner’s insurance.
When they realize what an unaffordable stink pile it is to the north..they’ll be back.
Most will move west not north … Texas , California Nevada Utah Oregon and Washington state are always considered the best states to be in when it comes to weather .. I’m shocked Floridians pay that much in homeowners insurance sheesh
People are leaving and they are building at record numbers…sounds like a housing crash to me.
Our government has sold us out. If you are a US citizen then the government will say we dont have the funds, but if it is Israel then send billions upon billions no problem
All homes in FL should be high rise condos. Nobody lives in the first two floors just supply rooms or storage for emergency supplies.
Those covid19 deniers believing trump all moved to florida and are now paying the price.
A trail of climate refugees is heading north to take our jobs and our homes. We must build a wall! And Florida will pay for it, i promise you!
Told so many people to start paying attention to climate change and its impacts on our world. Start moving out of coastal cities cause they won’t be there in 10-20 years
0:13 FIRST I HAVE TO SAY THAT SHE LOOKS AMAZING SHE LOOKS 40 YEARS OLD NOT 60! LEAVE LEAVE ASAP, EXCELLENT DECISION. GOD BLESS.
Climate refugees… except they have the funds and privileges to move…. imagine if the other states said sorry we cant take you??
Whos buying their houses? Aquaman?
Only 2/5 have money set aside…… just say 40%
Florida isn’t for poor people so most of you don’t need to worry about ever living here anyway LOL
I guess I’m stuck in ohio.🤷
Move to California, we exept you
Live on earth is changing and we should not try to protect all our costlines and montainvillages as well as places close to riverbeds. Tragic that the last hurricane also struck the inland of Florida. We should get all the resources together to stop climatechange as much as possible. The majority of people and other forms of life will not survive otherwise. I grew up in schleswig-holstein, northern part of germany around 100 kilometers to go from baltic sea to north sea. We as a family left in the 1980s although we had a beautiful home on a hill looking towards a river 1 kilometer away. Now we live in different states, i live 30 meters above the sealevel . Of course i could still live somewhere else, but i didn´t want to get into the rush. And leave something for my children. Anyway the other day i heard that tasmanians call the australians from the mainland refugees , mainland refugees. This is frightening.
Not just Florida but no one is really out off the radar by the oceans even North Carolina
Good please leave…. I’m a local and we have had enough of you anyway… pack your stuff and get out!
agreed. at 61 and a native of Florida I am done. I refuse to buy insurance. No flooding at my house, although they say I am in zone B. mandatory evacuations.. sick of it.
1:48 Said a mouthful
there’s a reason florida has no historical homes.
Zillow and RealPage and investors NEED to be SUE to the ground.
Israel should be moved to Florida
Good luck
Winter is coming
Just don’t move to MA, please. Our shadow government is pouring in enough unvetted immigrants as it is
Oh yeah you clowns are not welcome up north you will struggle.
I used to think of Florida as an ideal place to live. I need to rethink now.
No matter where you move, it’s still the same.
Average Floridian is paying $11k in homeowners insurance every year & it’s rising every year! FL’s no state income tax advantage just vaporized!!!
They have been moving from Florida for over a year now due to homeowners insurance going up.
Maybe this will mean less traffic on I-4.
Wishful thinking, I know.
12%?? That’s insane!
They should. Per scientist (who predicted this so far) it will only get worst. Fact.
Predicting that Florida will get hurricanes is like predicting Alaska will get snow
O nooo people who live on the beach have to deal with water ……nooo freakin wayyy everyone in the country should donate to get these people new mansions 😂😂😂😂
She looks phenomenal for 60
Honestly why would anyone live in Florida. It’s humid, disgusting, hurricanes, and there’s alligators everywhere.
not to mention obnoxious northeast transplants
Happy, people are moving back out again! Our population doubled in some decades! These people are part of the problem!
I left the North because I was tired of blizzards, ice storms and freezing weather. And I lived through Superstorm Sandy, which was much worse than any hurricane I have experienced in Florida. Friends lost their homes in Sandy. Pick your poison. I bought away from water 70 ft above sea level and no issues in 12 years. It’s better than shoveling many feet of snow.
See ya
Gotta build a water proof house,— cause ya know you live in Florida
Time to leave Florida.
🤦♂️ It amazes me how people think they can live near the coast in Florida and they are never going to get hit by a hurricane.
Smart Yankees go home😊
I hope I look.like that ar 60
Bye thank goodness
Why Illinois, why not move to TX? 😂
When the same kind of disaster hits the same area repeatedly there needs to be regulations about building there. Either not building in the highest risk zone, or remediation or special code enhancements to account for the high risk of a certain type of reoccurring disaster. The insurance companies are planning for climate change, and reacting to the extreme and repeated losses in one place. This is not the same thing as rare and relatively localized damage other places face with disasters. Nearly 80% of claims are in Florida, which means it is an incredible risk for insurance companies to offer coverage, and it also means other customers are subsidizing Florida insurance. The kneejerk reaction against regulations is not serving anyone well. Neither is denying climate change and its effects.
I am tired of the prices, tax, insurance, heat, people, dating, and hurricanes. I am leaving Tampa.
They voted republican now they’re fleeing the state that they helped to create the problem. Don’t Florida my Michigan!
Seems as if she is going up north funny tho u can run but cant hide 🌍 we were born to die
lol fools live in tampa of course hurricane hit u youron the ocean the smart ones live in Orlando born and raised no hurricane ever destroys orlando charlie did nothing in 2004 to Orlando compared to miltion in tampa, these past 2 hurricanes hit orlando like a lil windy day with rain nothing crazy
Florida is beautiful at time and very rainy and hurricane at times. It’s a roll of a dice really. Personally I wouldn’t live in FL except maybe in the middle or somewhere near Georgia so I can evacuate quick.
Best to get out now while the houses are still worth something. Eventually, the housing market in FL is going to collapse when people realize a home there is worthless since the insurance will be practically unaffordable
Leaving before her house is worthless because it’s uninsurable.
I lived in FL and hated it. Super hot, humid, expensive housing and insurance, corrupt cops and hurricanes. So glad I left
hurricane charley jeanne francis irene hit me in 2004…..left after that…kissimme homes -300,000 price, wages 9.00 hour….horrible in florida,,,
Fortunately for us most of New England is way too expensive for people from Florida. Try the Midwest they only have tornados! Thoughts and prayers 😂😂😂
I sold my condo in Ft.Lauderdale a couple of years ago, last night a friend of mine told me he saw that it’s been listed for about two months now.
Nice to stay there in the winter
Florida needs to stop building paper home, ya need to learn from Puerto Rico, cement is more convenient. plus there are no earthquakes on that side of the country so why paper??
I wonder what we call them since they call us snow birds …
October hurricanes….. Yea ok
They realize that insurance companies won’t accept your claims
I’ve read a lot of these stories recently. They are motivated by the political bent of the state, which clashes with the views of the major networks. Some people move back home, but for most, it’s a one-way trip. Property insurance is nowhere close to $11k unless you live in a flood zone. Yeah, it’s muggy for six months, and nice for six months. The weather is not great in most regions for six months, be it sweltering hot or chilly and dark. Take your pick — I would rather not shiver.
Well leave OHIO alone.
Rather be in a hurricane zone then a tornado or earthquake state.
Controlling population movements is easy via taxation and more recently, weather manipulation. People en masse react exactly as intended.
Texas is way better than Florida.
No disrespect but did she not do some research and know that Tamp is RIGHT on the coast and consistently either gets hit unfortunately or gets surge from Hurricanes? I mean…she couldn’t have been totally caught off guard by the fact that Florida gets affected by Hurricanes. I wish her well though. Good for her that she can move back north AND had her old job waiting for her. Shows the importance of leaving a place on good terms. Also…she definitely does not look 60
This wouldn’t happen if Florida starts requiring homes to be with hurricane proof material. 🤷🏽♀️
Wherever you go…there You are….
Dont come here. Stay in swamp.
Weather will get more extreme like hotter and colder
She needs a Husband 😂
Florida is truly a swamp…..
Move immediately as the water is coming within the decade..
Back to Illinois is worse than florida
The North section of the East Coast has just as bad storms as the South. There’s a reason Hurricane’s earn the nickname NorEasters.
Don’t worry stay in Florida Governor De Santis will protect you and figure out how to insure your home for less than your mortgage payments 😂
Please, move to NY. You’ll love it.
its ok if everybody leaves because of high prices. uncle sam will move illegals in and pay their rent
