Why does God hate Florida?

Simple.

Because they have a governor named Bush.

Then why haven't the hurricanes hit D.C.?

Faulty logic -- since I think there were hurricanes in FLA long before
Jeb was born.

They're talking God and Hate and you're talking logic?
Anyhoo, I thought it was because they haven't fixed their election
system since the 2000 debacle.

God doesn't hate Florida.

But when you capitalize everything, it's hard to tell what you mean, and
He may become confused...

What God REALLY hates it Flatulence...

STOP!!!

You can insure just about anything if you're willing to pay enough.
Anyhow, the whole state doesn't get wiped out every year. Florida has
a state windstorm pool that covers properties in paricularly bad
locations. You have to have a big deductible and the rates are fairly
high.

It's not as if the weather knows that millions of people insist on
living in that area in totally unsuitable buildings. Was there an
indigenous population before the modern buildings went up? What was
the usual form of home like? Packed earth dome? Adobe?
Every time you see an active hurricane covered on TV there are sheets
of ****-cheap metal cladding peeling off something. Ready to wreck
something downwind. What about the lethal, highly vulnerable, overhead
power lines? Is that to save money? For whom? How do trailer homes
even get permission to enter Florida? Are there buildings standards
for steel cable guy lines and reinforced fixing points to match the
strength of compulsory ground anchors?

You're supposed to adapt to adverse conditions. Not thumb your noses
at them.
Intelligence and building seem to have taken a divergent path in
Florida.

Actually, Forida had a period extending of more than 2 decades where
we had no storms at all. The weather patterns have now changed.
