Relocating would, in the grand scheme, be relatively easy should it ever come to that.

Easy in some ways, but there's still the problem of where to move.
Further up the Florida coast to higher ground?


Why not???????!!!!!!


Further north means higher launch costs. Just something to consider in
weighing all the economics.


Further inland, to higher ground, not necessarily much further north. Property values are still modest in that area.

If launch costs bother you that much, Hawaii could be cheaper given its more southerly latitude.
