Look at the bright side. Maybe all those transported New Yalkers will decide
to go somewhere else.

Isn't it obvious that God didn't want people to live in Florida? Why
do you think He invented Yellow Fever? He could, if He chose send each
of these hurricanes to Gotham - or even to Texas, but that isn't the
Plan.



There is no reason why people cannot live in Florida.
They simply have to build their houses and other buildings much stronger to
withstand gale-force winds, annihilate mosquitoes, watch out for gators and
snakes, avoid sunburn, take care when entering the water because of sharks and
jellyfish, and evacuate whenever a "force 6" hurricane comes along.
Compare these minor inconveniences to the fate of people who live at the foot
of active volcanoes, or on islands which are barely above sea level. And what
about those Africans who, on occasion, have to pull their loved ones out of the
mouth of some crockodile? Or worse still, go home alone, shaking their heads
and muttering to themselves: "I told them not to mess around with hyppos."


No, if God did not want people to live in Florida, He would simply have
submerged the whole pennensula into the sea (like He did with Atlantis). :-)

A few more hurricanes and he (she?) might be successful.
