Irma destroyed our condo in Marathon Key. Of course the insurance company didn’t pay, and the building will be sold to a local builder. They will fix the damage and sell it for millions. Insurance companies will do everything they can to get out of paying those with their policies. It’s required to have the insurance but not a requirement for them to pay. What a deal.
That's right, I think this is one of the biggest scams in real estate and for that reason, I usually feel like the best thing is to have as little insurance as possible, but with a condo it's tough. That sucks that happened to you
Living in Florida for almost 27 years (13 years in Miami) I never had to evacuate my home(s). My advice is to have a hurricane CAT plan, stock up, and be ready. Watch the tropical weather models and reports weekly during hurricane season. I like to track the tropical models every day from June 1-Nov 30.
You are lucky, but that doesn't mean you'll never have to just because you havent so far. I think that is part of the issue, people get complacent when nothing happens for a long time and when the big one comes they think they can ride it out
You forgot to mention buildings and homes in Miami are built with concrete not plaster like the northeast. We have a building code to withstand at least cat 5 winds. I’m not sure about the rest of Florida but here, the only houses that aren’t built to code were built before Andrew. Miami isn’t lucky, it’s prepared. Personally from living here for 18 years. Live in an area with great drainage systems to avoid flooding (Katrina had more flooding than Irma and that was category 1 for us), try to live inland if you live in a house to avoid storm surge (I live 12 miles inland and am not affected by storm surge) or live in a big apartment building, cut down branches in any nearby trees to avoid it falling, and we also have mangroves on the coast which serve as a natural barrier against storm surge. Hurricanes aren’t that bad (except category 5 which is really once in a blue moon), we don’t have to be lucky, we only have to be prepared.
Yes being prepared is the most important thing for sure. Although places are built to code here, we have not had a cat 5 direct hit to Miami since, so it really has not been put to the test, but I would not want to be here to see it, that's for sure
I lived thru Hurricane Michael in 2018 in the Panhandle. Everyone thought it wasn't going to be that bad. Was a Cat 5. Worse Hurricane to hit Florida since Hurricane Andrew since 1992. I will evacuate next time. We are still recovering here.
I understand you, I went through that too but twice what you say. I live in Puerto Rico and go through Hurricane Irma category 3 and two weeks later I go through Hurricane Maria category 5, the strongest category in hurricanes. It was like an atomic bomb falling in the country. Seven months !, without electricity, gas, and water in some cases. What an experience! We will never forget that time.
I just moved to Florida about 4 months before Irma, lived on Merritt Island which had a mandatory evacuation order. I had no intention of evacuating. Spoke to someone at the company in NY I worked for remotely. She had relatives trying to head north. They described the highway rest areas as tent cities. Too much can go wrong and I am glad I decided to stay. Just 20 hours without power and 40 hours without water then life returned to normal...
@@droneview8351 Irma was definitely a tricky storm and I remember a lot of evacuation orders were really called at the last minute so that was a pretty organized mess if you ask me. But you being on the East Coast similarly to me we definitely got lucky. The West Coast got it way worse.
Born in the outer banks and dealing with Hurricanes yearly I am terrified of the Florida weather. Hurricanes and severe weather ~ very destructive. Hurricanes hit on average every 3 years in Florida. Home insurance is ridiculous too. It's all fun and games in Florida to visit but a different scenario to live there full time
@@MichaelBordenaro haa But I do really miss it. I lived on Anna Maria Island, Sarasota then Cape Coral. Now I'm in the Colorado Rockies 😍 Florida is becoming too expensive for a poor gal!
Wow! I am sooooo glad I found your channel. As a Philadelphian now Southern Californian, I still love and long for a lifestyle in Florida specifically Miami. Visited the city a few times right before Irma hit, loved it and can’t wait to lay some roots there. This video was more than informative and helpful which is why I’m liked and subbed. Keep me coming. PS Glad you guys were able to tough out the storm especially when not prepared to actually stay. Happy things worked out! 👍🏾💯💗✨
I am glad you found me too! Sounds like you really love Miami! Thanks for your kindness about the storm. It was pretty rough, and I wouldn't want to do it again, we definitely got really lucky 👌
@@MichaelBordenaro Sure thing, I know hurricanes are scary and seeing as though you guys were caught in a serious one like I said not fully being prepared to bunker down is a bit nerve wrecking. Living here in Cali I’ve had some experiences with a few earthquakes however you’re the true trooper in natural disasters with tornadoes, I’m actually terrified of those things 😳.
@@Word_Wise_Woman Yeah it kinda stinks that almost all places in the U.S. are at risk of some sort of natural disaster. Tornados are pretty scary since they just pop up out of nowhere. You will get a short warning, but we're talking minutes! At least with a hurricane you know its coming
Mother Nature, everyone has to pick a point and deal with it. I used to live in CA, I was in the San Francisco 1989 Earthquake. Then I used to live in Carmel by the Sea, there was big fire in Carmel Valley. Now we live in Maui. Hawaii has hurricane, however, Maui was okay because it blocked from hurricane by the other islands. We do get hit with severe flash floods. My brother is going to move to Sarasota from Colorado. He can’t stand the fire. Although, Sarasota seems less hurricane hits, but i’m still worrying for him.
As a future Floridian, I should make a evacuation list and post it somewhere on a wall or have it in a calendar once I hear about a hurricane approaching 😂😂😂 maybe buy important things a person definitely needs. The only direction to go in Florida is north to get away.
Hurricanes are definitely something that you should consider before moving to Florida. On September 11th 2017 hurricane Irma actually struck Jacksonville and the St Johns River overflowed its banks and flooded my neighborhood my apartment and my car I had one week to get a new car and find a new apartment and clean up the mess. Very stressful. The next year on October the 10th hurricane Michael struck Panama City where my dad lived and I was able to take him a generator but 3 weeks later he died of a massive heart attack. The hospital where they took him was still damaged from the storm and could not treat him so he passed away en route to Fort Walton Beach. I inherited his house in seven rental properties all paid for but with no insurance and I have spent the last 4 years digging out of a complete and total mess. I finally have everything on track and things look a lot better but it has been pure hell and Panama City has still not recovered.
I remember the year Florida had FOUR hurricanes in a SIX week timeframe. That was 2004. They were Charley, Francis, Ivan and Jean (Jeanne?). I remember heading home from work when we were expecting Ivan. I passed gas station after gas station that was either already out of fuel or had cars wrapped around the place. Finally found gas near where I live, but the pump was really slow and I got about 8 gallons. One good thing thing they did back then was suspend tolls on the expressways. I remember the advice one radio personality gave on how to keep your transponder from going off. You couldn’t just remove it from your windshield. You had to remember what Fonzie used to say - “sit on it”.
I’m new to you’re you tube channel and have been watching a lot of your video and am so glad you are making them. They are very informative and positive and encouraging as well. My husband and I are in our 50s from cold dreary Michigan and are seriously looking to move to Fl so glad to be Anne to learn about it more with videos like yours so thank you!
Hello April, welcome to the channel, thanks for your kind comment. I really enjoy making the videos, and I love hearing stories like yours and reminds me a lot my own being from IL. Please enjoy the videos and I look forward to seeing you again in the comments😊
You are so welcome! It is definitely important info for anyone considering living here. We were getting a lot of rain down here in Miami too, but it has cleared up over the past couple of days. It's that time of year...😯
I was born and raised in florida (15 now) and i went through my first two hurricanes before 3 months old. I also went through Mathew, Irma, and almost Dorian (i dont remember if there were more). I live on the east coast. I have never been scared of hurricanes, I honestly get kind of excited for them. It childish, I know, but with hurricanes you get at least one week off school regardless of whether it hits or not. Edit: oh I also wanna mention that probably about a month ago there was a really bad storm that went through right were I live and it knocked down several palm trees, do you know how hard it is to know down palm trees? They don’t usually fall during hurricanes. My mom and I think there was a tornado because there was a clear cut line in a ton of bushes and things but there was no tornado warning or watch. Florida is weird but I love it
You remind me when I was your age, and I lived Illinois. I used to hope and prey we would get snow blizzards and sub zero weather in order to stay home from school. Hurricanes are definitely more dangerous though. I guess it's ok to get excited, as long as you and your family still stay safe and take the necessary precautions
Michael Bordenaro yeah I’ve never felt unsafe during hurricanes. If it’s ever a really bad one I can go to my aunts house who has mostly hurricane proof windows and shutters. If we ever get a tornado warning during a hurricane while at their house we go into their moms closet (it’s huge) and just do whatever in there until it’s gone
@@catdogorboth7087 It's good you guys have a plan, but you should watch what hurricane Andrew did to a lot of houses in Miami back in 92 ruclips.net/video/_6FixacAXlo/видео.html, it tore most of them up. And I have been through tornados up in IL, and they will also rip a house apart, and no closet will help in that situation. Not trying to scare you, just need to be aware
Michael Bordenaro I have hear stories about it, my mom was living in Miami at the time and went through it. We won’t stay in Florida if it’s higher than a 3 )(unless we are stuck of course)
I appreciate all you have to say . Life is about stories . Hurricane Gloria was the worst hurricane I experienced . That sucked . Hurricane sandy, well I was too tired and stress to stay n the basement so I went to my bedroom . Soon a tree fell over my bed almost through the roof . Yikes I lived . Going up and down this egg steps in suffocating heat did suck . Cats suck too ! My husband is a skilled mechanic and our vehicles always need maintenance and repairs . Just two days the back brakes lines snapped on way home from a store . Ugh and I’ll visit St Augustine in ten winter after hurricane season and of it comes Well drive north I listened and learned . I’m Going to go finish watching another of your Awsome videos . Your on a hour walk . It’s great . Thanks
Wow that is quite the hurricane story too Eleanor! We both got lucky, things could have been worse. Its definitely a life experience. One I hope to never have again
I have lived in Fla since 63 and have never left my home or worried about direct it from the hurricane by the time it comes 12 miles inland it starts breaking up to be a rain event not the end of the world but the so-called would have you think so
Hey Michael, I love hanging out with you and all your videos. This was interesting. Hurricane Irma hit pretty bad here in the Sarasota/Bradenton area in 2017. Our condo association ordered evacuation, but I wouldn't desert my 15 year old companion cat Mimi and go to a shit house gym loaded with other people. I hunkered down in my 2nd bathroom area located in middle of condo. It has a sliding frame door so you're shut out completely from the rest of the place. Large dressing area with sink, and a separate small area with tub/shower and toilet with a door you can close. I set up bunk with mattress, bottled water, litter box and water for Mimi and we stayed there all night long listening to the roaring winds and tree branches hitting the roof. It was frightening, but we got thru it together. Never forget it. Usually the threats of hurricanes are worse for your area in Miami Beach, but it can happen here too. Thanks Michael for all your interesting videos.
Thank you Tommy, I appreciate that and I am glad you like hanging with me 😀 What a scary storm and situation, and at the end of the day, I don't blame you for not going to a shelter, the conditions are terrible. Glad you were able to setup safely in the bathroom, that was smart and I'm happy to hear you got through it with your precious Mimi. That storm was proof, that nowhere in FL is immune to a hurricane for sure
Hello all my mom wants to move to Florida for the warm weather. I'm thinking more Central Florida. How affected by hurricanes is Central Florida such as Sanford Apopka ect. She actually wants to go further south like Port Charlotte since it will be warmer there. I believe the further up you go the least damage there is? Another concern is flooding as well. Thank you.
Central FL will be your best bet in terms of safety and least affected areas of a hurricane. Although flooding can be an issue anywhere, due to the crazy amount of rain a regular storm or hurricane can bring
Just in time for hurricane season LOL. It's ok though, it is just a fact of life here. As long as you have a plan in place and are ready, you'll be just fine. Welcome!!😀
Thank you Michael for the video. I live in Europe in the Alps. In winter there is sometimes a lot of snow and avalanches. Avalanches will exceptionally pull away part of the mountain village. A colleague at work comes from Sicily near the volcano Etna. After one incident, where an avalanche dragged cars along the road a few kilometers away, a colleague decided to return to Sicily. Who would want to live near a volcano? -I'm asking myself. People in the world have different climatic conditions in which they have to adapt. Greetings from the Alps, it's snowing hard behind the window. ❄
You're welcome Igor and hello in the Alps!! Also a very beautiful place in the world, I would love to visit one day. You're right, we do end up adapting to our environment for the most part. The volcano thing though, I'm with you! That would be a deal breaker for me too😄
My Wife and I are thinking of moving to Florida in a couple years. Hurricanes are one of our biggest fears. We work remotely so that gives us a lot of flexibility in terms of location. Are there any suggestions for locations we should be looking at with safety in mind. We dont really go out much so up and coming developing areas wouldnt be bad.
I think I mentioned this in the video but I would stay in the northern part of Florida if you are really concerned about hurricanes. That way if you ever have to evacuate, it will be a much shorter ride out of Florida and out of harms way👍
The northern center of the state is statistically the least likely to be hit by a hurricane. Most Florida hurricanes run from the south to north, so by the time they get to the Clermont, Ocala, Gainesville areas, they are not so strong. But, if you are in the northern panhandle area (Panama City, Pensacola) the storms that strike there are generally very strong as they come directly off the Gulf of Mexico. I have been through four hurricanes and a couple of tropical storms in the Orlando area (Kissimmee) and the worst was Charley in 2004, a Category 2 when it got to us that caused a great deal of damage. Honestly, I would find some other state to move to. Florida is overcrowded and unless you leave very early, evacuation north is not a great option. The two north-south interstates (I-75 and I- 95) were built when 5 million people lived here, and now there are 21 million.
I'll bet, I saw some old videos of how devastated all of Miami was from Andrew. No hurricanes in NM 👍 I think a lot of people that spent a good amount of time in FL seem to want to return
Great information! Thanks for sharing. Do you know what the hospitals do for health care workers when a hurricane hits? Are they required to show up to work? I live in Canada, and we get ALOT of snow storms and have to drive to work pretty much no matter what. I have drove in the worst condition possible after a night shift, so hurricanes don’t scare me that much
During hurricanes we do still have healthcare workers and first responders. They do tell everyone that stays for a mandatory evacuation that help may be limited or unavailable during the storm. So staff does work, but help is not guaranteed for anyone. I don't know if the people that work volunteer to be working and some don't or everyone just has to work. It sounds like you are well-versed to work in a emergency situation though 👌
interestingly the crazy rainfall mentioned in the video came from the precursor weather system to tropical storm Bertha which hit south carolina a few days later
I am happy you made it out ok!! That was probably the worst storm FL received in the last 50 years at least. To me the only way to survive for sure is to get out of here, before its too late
Oh yeah, you'll be ready for just about anything here with that jeep. I have seen several around here like that with the snorkel. Would be interesting to put it to the test😉
I noticed you have the older LT1 camaro 93-97 . Those are problematic. If it was the 98-02 LS1 it’s like a whole different car with power, speed, fuel efficiency and reliability 🏁
Yes I do, and it has given me it's fair share of troubles over the years for sure. I have thought about selling it many times, but so far, have not been able to bring myself to do it
Michael Bordenaro I heard Florida’s smog laws are relaxed. You should put the newer LS1/LS2/LS3 engine in that car and you will fall in love with it all over lol
Being in Central Florida you’re pretty lucky as usually you won’t be impacted anyhow. I’ve been here for 14 years now and it was the same for me Irma hit us hard
If you want to get out of harm’s way during a hurricane, then you should simply drive to Orlando. Orlando is pretty safe because it’s not near the Atlantic Ocean or the Gulf of Mexico.
It's not that simple for two reasons. One everyone does that and so the hotels are super booked and very expensive. Number two it's because sometimes Orlando actually does get hammered. They got hit by hurricane Irma just as well as we did here in Miami.Being inland does not protect you from the hurricane it just makes it a little less intense
Thank you brother for the info........we planning to move around lakewood ranch in 2 years....... so I wonder if hurricanes really affects inland houses
You’re welcome! Hurricanes can definitely affect a house that’s in land depending on the direction of the storm. Everywhere in Florida is susceptible to them
@@MichaelBordenaro Thank you so much.....I watched more of your other videos and I noticed you are a Realtor......I wondering if its worth to buy a house around $275k instead of renting in the Lakewood ranch area
How’s Ocala with hurricanes that’s where I’m planning on moving, surely being that far inland it shouldn’t be bad plus I see they build a lot of the houses out of concrete
Many thanks. I love a good storm but I think I'll pass on moving to FL due to flying cockroaches, mosquitos, no see-ems and most of all the allergies. We don't have mosquitos here in Reno, nor do we have any of that other stuff, except allergies. It's why I wanted to move, to get away from desert pollen and all the sinus infections. I wanted to be near the ocean!
I used to live near Sarasota for a little while when I was a kid .I loved it.I am a Michigander though and for the 20+ years have lived in the snow belt .My husband and I are so sick of it in Michigan the weather really sucks.After his heart attack we made our decision to move to Florida and your videos have really made me feel alot better.Just one more thing .What about the crocks ,snakes ,gators I lived there in early 80s there were no invasive species then.Gators and crocks are not invasive but I have pets am a little worried about them.
I'm so happy to hear my videos have helped influence you to move back to FL! My rule of thumb regarding creatures is the closer you live to the everglades or a fresh water pond / lake, the more likely you will encounter gators or snakes.
Hey man I’ve decided I’m moving to Florida, probably cocoa beach in about a month to try and live a surfing life, I’m from Cicero, IL and I’d really appreciate your help.
You would ever evaluate to Orlando Florida? Since I heard even though hurricanes does hit Orlando, but it doesn't hit as hard? Or probably still best to drive all the way north out of Florida?
It probably depends on the trajectory and intensity of the storm. If its say a category 3 that is supposed to rake the coast, then I think Orlando is Ok. But a huge one that will cover the state, probably better to leave FL!
If you have no water, you can still flush your toilet by filling the tank manually from water jugs. If you live in an apt in FL, get a WaterBOB. A hurricane is no time to eat Indian food.
I don't know. That would be a question for a climate scientist. When I said that I wasn't really referring to the storms I probably should have clarified. I was more referring to the rising water levels here in Miami and how bad the flooding is getting.
@@MacGregorLassie That is certainly part of it the other part of it is being only about 7 feet above sea level here in Miami Beach and lime stone is very porous and water actually rises up from under ground here as well.
18 floors? Omg, I remember that hurricane... that was the one close call that we had up here in the Tampa Bay area... that's one of the reasons that we moved to the Tampa Bay area... because of our location we're not too susceptible to hurricanes... I'm not saying that we don't get them but we haven't had a direct hit... I don't think since the 1960's.
Yes that walking up and down the stairs really sucked...It wasn't even a direct hit either, it ended up going south and then sweeping up the west coast. Anywhere in FL can get hit, its just a matter of time and being prepared for when it does
Storms happen. We had a tornado on Memorial Day 2019 (south suburbs of Chicago) & had 20K worth of damage. So no matter where you live there’s gonna be storms. That said I don’t mind tornados & hurricanes but F earthquakes. I had a few releatives that rode out hurricane Andrew & it sucked, but they survived.
Yep I know, and everywhere has their own unique natural disasters. And being from IL, I have seen a few tornados there. At least with a hurricane, you have a chance to evacuate before its too late. Andrew was a terrible storm, and your family was lucky to make it through👍
i was there for hurricane Andrew but i was really young so don't remember too much of it. but if i still lived there and they say evacuate, im with you, i won't drive 30mins or 2-3 hrs away... ill be leaving the state of florida 😆..... bye 👋 🏃🏽♀️
That’s good you don’t remember because I have a friend that grew up here also and he remembers it and it was a pretty Trumatic experience. Definitely, have to get the hell out of here when it’s something that serious!
okay i wanna to florida so bad but it the hurricane it not i doing wanna deal with it because it not a problem it just i scared to get my house knocked down or from dying from them
The reality is you will always be at risk of hurricane anywhere you live in FL. It is part of life here, so you must be able to handle that if you move here
Hurricanes are actually good. If you examine the damage you will see why it failed. Florida has building codes now and when the failures are built back they are much stronger. I read a report that anything built after 2012 can survive a cat 4 hurricane.
Thats what they say...but the truth is a lot of these structures haven't been put through that real test yet, I hope its true but only a real storm will reveal how strong these new structures are
As far as a good reason why the hurricanes may come about in more frequency/ intensity, is when you see USA taking steps to further a peace plan with Israel. YAH our heavenly father will use hurricanes as perhaps rebukes to our nation for us trying to step in and divide his land Israel. William Koenig wrote a book about this- Eye to Eye, Facing the Consequences of Dividing Israel
RUclips creators work really hard to put up a video for us to watch it.👍 If I like their videos, I watch the ads for at least 30sec, some are actually interesting and I watch it till the end...anyways, my point is that the creators get monetized from those ads (not even that much) So if you like the videos, learn something from it or just got some entertainment out of it, the kindest thing to do to support the channel is to watch the ads for a bit and then skip it😉✌️
If you live in an apartment or a small house, buy a portable camping battery so you can power your laptop, phone, and microwave during a power outage. GoalZero makes good ones.

Awesome video! Even after watching, I'm still pumped to move to Florida. The hurricanes sound shitty, but snow storms suck more.
Thanks Fraser! Yep, agreed and snow storms are a lot more common if you live up north.
@@MichaelBordenaro I think the adaptation has just been better for snow. Also just the lack of high ground in Florida and gulf area.

Yes being prepared is the most important thing for sure. Although places are built to code here, we have not had a cat 5 direct hit to Miami since, so it really has not been put to the test, but I would not want to be here to see it, that's for sure
irma only brought cat 1 wind speeds to miami, want too bad.
irma was technically a cat 4 for you but you only got the outer bands so 99 mph was the strongest gust
Yes the Dade county code after hurricane Andrew was the best code in the nation at one point. Now we are ranked 3 I believe.
I lived thru Hurricane Michael in 2018 in the Panhandle. Everyone thought it wasn't going to be that bad. Was a Cat 5. Worse Hurricane to hit Florida since Hurricane Andrew since 1992. I will evacuate next time. We are still recovering here.
Yes that was terrible, can't believe you stayed for it, especially in the panhandle. Sorry you got hit so hard
I understand you, I went through that too but twice what you say.

It was like an atomic bomb falling in the country. Seven months !, without electricity, gas, and water in some cases. What an experience! We will never forget that time.
Yes that was really terrible, I remember it going down exactly as you say. Glad you made it through such a terrible time👍
Puerto Rico gets hit with a lot of storms. Why are they requiring people to upgrade their homes to withstand Cat 5 storms.
hurricane maria was a 4 at landfall, but only 7 mph slower.
also hurricane irma didnt really hit pr too hard
I evacuated for Irma and it took me 12 hours to get to the Georgia border from Miami Beach, and a full 20 hours to get to North Carolina.
Good for you! I wish we could have too
I just moved to Florida about 4 months before Irma, lived on Merritt Island which had a mandatory evacuation order. I had no intention of evacuating.

I rode out Wilma (2005) as a CAT3 when it hit S. Florida. It was bad, I lost some trees and had some roof damage in Cutler Bay.
Ouch I'll bet that was miserable
As a future Floridian, I should make a evacuation list and post it somewhere on a wall or have it in a calendar once I hear about a hurricane approaching 😂😂😂 maybe buy important things a person definitely needs. The only direction to go in Florida is north to get away.
Yes its always good to have an evacuation plan and supplies on hand, just in case you get stuck like I did👍
Awesome story on your hurricane experience. I enjoyed it. Keep up the great work Mike
Thanks a lot Charlie! I will keep it up!
Hurricanes are definitely something that you should consider before moving to Florida. On September 11th 2017 hurricane Irma actually struck Jacksonville and the St Johns River overflowed its banks and flooded my neighborhood my apartment and my car I had one week to get a new car and find a new apartment and clean up the mess. Very stressful. The next year on October the 10th hurricane Michael struck Panama City where my dad lived and I was able to take him a generator but 3 weeks later he died of a massive heart attack. The hospital where they took him was still damaged from the storm and could not treat him so he passed away en route to Fort Walton Beach. I inherited his house in seven rental properties all paid for but with no insurance and I have spent the last 4 years digging out of a complete and total mess. I finally have everything on track and things look a lot better but it has been pure hell and Panama City has still not recovered.
That was quite an adventurous experience you've gotten there! Very valuable info thanks for sharing it! :)
Yeah it was quite a ride and I hope to never experience it again
I remember the year Florida had FOUR hurricanes in a SIX week timeframe. That was 2004. They were Charley, Francis, Ivan and Jean (Jeanne?). I remember heading home from work when we were expecting Ivan. I passed gas station after gas station that was either already out of fuel or had cars wrapped around the place. Finally found gas near where I live, but the pump was really slow and I got about 8 gallons. One good thing thing they did back then was suspend tolls on the expressways. I remember the advice one radio personality gave on how to keep your transponder from going off. You couldn’t just remove it from your windshield. You had to remember what Fonzie used to say - “sit on it”.
That is a lot in such a short period of time!
I’m new to you’re you tube channel and have been watching a lot of your video and am so glad you are making them. They are very informative and positive and encouraging as well. My husband and I are in our 50s from cold dreary Michigan and are seriously looking to move to Fl so glad to be Anne to learn about it more with videos like yours so thank you!
Hello April, welcome to the channel, thanks for your kind comment. I really enjoy making the videos, and I love hearing stories like yours and reminds me a lot my own being from IL. Please enjoy the videos and I look forward to seeing you again in the comments😊
Thanks for making this video. I live in Vero Beach and it's been raining everyday, all day. We've gotten 20 inches of rain since Memorial Day!
You are so welcome! It is definitely important info for anyone considering living here. We were getting a lot of rain down here in Miami too, but it has cleared up over the past couple of days. It's that time of year...😯
Great video Michael (along with all your others)! I lived most of my life in South Florida and agree with everything you said.
Thank you Daniel! Trying to give everyone as realistic of a picture as possible of what to expect. Glad you approve being from here 👌
I was born and raised in florida (15 now) and i went through my first two hurricanes before 3 months old. I also went through Mathew, Irma, and almost Dorian (i dont remember if there were more). I live on the east coast. I have never been scared of hurricanes, I honestly get kind of excited for them. It childish, I know, but with hurricanes you get at least one week off school regardless of whether it hits or not.
Edit: oh I also wanna mention that probably about a month ago there was a really bad storm that went through right were I live and it knocked down several palm trees, do you know how hard it is to know down palm trees? They don’t usually fall during hurricanes. My mom and I think there was a tornado because there was a clear cut line in a ton of bushes and things but there was no tornado warning or watch. Florida is weird but I love it
You remind me when I was your age, and I lived Illinois. I used to hope and prey we would get snow blizzards and sub zero weather in order to stay home from school. Hurricanes are definitely more dangerous though. I guess it's ok to get excited, as long as you and your family still stay safe and take the necessary precautions
Michael Bordenaro yeah I’ve never felt unsafe during hurricanes. If it’s ever a really bad one I can go to my aunts house who has mostly hurricane proof windows and shutters. If we ever get a tornado warning during a hurricane while at their house we go into their moms closet (it’s huge) and just do whatever in there until it’s gone
@@catdogorboth7087 It's good you guys have a plan, but you should watch what hurricane Andrew did to a lot of houses in Miami back in 92 ruclips.net/video/_6FixacAXlo/видео.html, it tore most of them up. And I have been through tornados up in IL, and they will also rip a house apart, and no closet will help in that situation. Not trying to scare you, just need to be aware
Michael Bordenaro I have hear stories about it, my mom was living in Miami at the time and went through it. We won’t stay in Florida if it’s higher than a 3 )(unless we are stuck of course)
I appreciate all you have to say . Life is about stories . Hurricane Gloria was the worst hurricane I experienced . That sucked . Hurricane sandy, well I was too tired and stress to stay n the basement so I went to my bedroom . Soon a tree fell over my bed almost through the roof . Yikes
I lived .
Going up and down this egg steps in suffocating heat did suck . Cats suck too !
My husband is a skilled mechanic and our vehicles always need maintenance and repairs . Just two days the back brakes lines snapped on way home from a store . Ugh and I’ll visit St Augustine in ten winter after hurricane season and of it comes Well drive north
I listened and learned .
I’m
Going to go finish watching another of your Awsome videos . Your on a hour walk . It’s great . Thanks
Wow that is quite the hurricane story too Eleanor! We both got lucky, things could have been worse. Its definitely a life experience. One I hope to never have again
I have lived in Fla since 63 and have never left my home or worried about direct it from the hurricane by the time it comes 12 miles inland it starts breaking up to be a rain event not the end of the world but the so-called would have you think so
Hey Michael, I love hanging out with you and all your videos. This was interesting. Hurricane Irma hit pretty bad here in the Sarasota/Bradenton area in 2017. Our condo association ordered evacuation, but I wouldn't desert my 15 year old companion cat Mimi and go to a shit house gym loaded with other people. I hunkered down in my 2nd bathroom area located in middle of condo. It has a sliding frame door so you're shut out completely from the rest of the place. Large dressing area with sink, and a separate small area with tub/shower and toilet with a door you can close. I set up bunk with mattress, bottled water, litter box and water for Mimi and we stayed there all night long listening to the roaring winds and tree branches hitting the roof. It was frightening, but we got thru it together. Never forget it. Usually the threats of hurricanes are worse for your area in Miami Beach, but it can happen here too. Thanks Michael for all your interesting videos.
Thank you Tommy, I appreciate that and I am glad you like hanging with me 😀 What a scary storm and situation, and at the end of the day, I don't blame you for not going to a shelter, the conditions are terrible. Glad you were able to setup safely in the bathroom, that was smart and I'm happy to hear you got through it with your precious Mimi. That storm was proof, that nowhere in FL is immune to a hurricane for sure
And mimi wondered what the heck are we doing eating and sleeping in a bathroom ... didn't you pay your rent
@@soniadowney7427 LOL! My precious Mimi died January 18, 2019. She meant everything to me. Best friend I ever had, never judgmental, always loyal!
@@catlover34flso sorry ...i know how difficult..I've had several pets over the years and it never gets easier but we have great memories...take care
Hello all my mom wants to move to Florida for the warm weather. I'm thinking more Central Florida. How affected by hurricanes is Central Florida such as Sanford Apopka ect. She actually wants to go further south like Port Charlotte since it will be warmer there. I believe the further up you go the least damage there is? Another concern is flooding as well. Thank you.
Central FL will be your best bet in terms of safety and least affected areas of a hurricane. Although flooding can be an issue anywhere, due to the crazy amount of rain a regular storm or hurricane can bring
Wow! And I'm actually moving to Florida on June 1st 2020
Just in time for hurricane season LOL. It's ok though, it is just a fact of life here. As long as you have a plan in place and are ready, you'll be just fine. Welcome!!😀
M D He’s a a great genuine RUclipsr & relator. Seriously like god sent for those that would like to invest in Miami Florida.❣️🌞🌝🌍✨⛅️
And I’m moving in 2021 in Florida
Thats great to read about your move. I'm sure you got a high paying job with the move.
@@gregory4934 nope no high paying job I wish
Good info
Thanks
You’re welcome!
Thank you Michael for the video.
I live in Europe in the Alps. In winter there is sometimes a lot of snow and avalanches. Avalanches will exceptionally pull away part of the mountain village.
A colleague at work comes from Sicily near the volcano Etna. After one incident, where an avalanche dragged cars along the road a few kilometers away, a colleague decided to return to Sicily. Who would want to live near a volcano? -I'm asking myself.
People in the world have different climatic conditions in which they have to adapt.
Greetings from the Alps, it's snowing hard behind the window. ❄
You're welcome Igor and hello in the Alps!! Also a very beautiful place in the world, I would love to visit one day. You're right, we do end up adapting to our environment for the most part. The volcano thing though, I'm with you! That would be a deal breaker for me too😄
@@MichaelBordenaro 😉👍
My Wife and I are thinking of moving to Florida in a couple years. Hurricanes are one of our biggest fears. We work remotely so that gives us a lot of flexibility in terms of location. Are there any suggestions for locations we should be looking at with safety in mind. We dont really go out much so up and coming developing areas wouldnt be bad.
I think I mentioned this in the video but I would stay in the northern part of Florida if you are really concerned about hurricanes. That way if you ever have to evacuate, it will be a much shorter ride out of Florida and out of harms way👍
The northern center of the state is statistically the least likely to be hit by a hurricane. Most Florida hurricanes run from the south to north, so by the time they get to the Clermont, Ocala, Gainesville areas, they are not so strong. But, if you are in the northern panhandle area (Panama City, Pensacola) the storms that strike there are generally very strong as they come directly off the Gulf of Mexico. I have been through four hurricanes and a couple of tropical storms in the Orlando area (Kissimmee) and the worst was Charley in 2004, a Category 2 when it got to us that caused a great deal of damage. Honestly, I would find some other state to move to. Florida is overcrowded and unless you leave very early, evacuation north is not a great option. The two north-south interstates (I-75 and I- 95) were built when 5 million people lived here, and now there are 21 million.
@@katazack definitely over crowded now. It would be very hard to evaluate now.
My mom +Husband lost their mobile home 2 Andrew.Loved hurricane parties as teenagers were invincible then.they moved 2 NM. I'll be back soon
I'll bet, I saw some old videos of how devastated all of Miami was from Andrew. No hurricanes in NM 👍 I think a lot of people that spent a good amount of time in FL seem to want to return
Great story and insight !
Thanks Andy glad you enjoyed!
Great information! Thanks for sharing. Do you know what the hospitals do for health care workers when a hurricane hits? Are they required to show up to work? I live in Canada, and we get ALOT of snow storms and have to drive to work pretty much no matter what. I have drove in the worst condition possible after a night shift, so hurricanes don’t scare me that much
During hurricanes we do still have healthcare workers and first responders. They do tell everyone that stays for a mandatory evacuation that help may be limited or unavailable during the storm. So staff does work, but help is not guaranteed for anyone. I don't know if the people that work volunteer to be working and some don't or everyone just has to work. It sounds like you are well-versed to work in a emergency situation though 👌
Thank you for your reply. It seems pretty similar to what the healthcare facilities would do here in snow storms. Thank you again 😊
@@dhvanip You're welcome! Glad to help👌
So where in Florida does not get hurricane? Planning to go there for vacation this coming July?
Technically nowhere, but least occurrences are in the north east part of FL
Hi Michael, great video tx. One question, what area in Florida is the less hit from hurricanes?
Thanks Cristina, according to my research the northeast area of FL is least hit, but that doesnt mean they dont get hit, just less often statistically
Hurricanes is like a deadly kamehameha wave
interestingly the crazy rainfall mentioned in the video came from the precursor weather system to tropical storm Bertha which hit south carolina a few days later
June 1st to Nov 30 is 6 months not 7 months. I do like your videos
You got me, I must have been thinking about how long summer lasts here and how long its hot for 😉 Glad you like my vids 😎
I was here in Miami for Hurricane Andrew dude not cool. Plz make a video on that and how to fight back survive. 11 : 24 facts 🤔
I am happy you made it out ok!! That was probably the worst storm FL received in the last 50 years at least. To me the only way to survive for sure is to get out of here, before its too late
What about sea levels rising in the next 80 years and predictions most of South Florida will be under water?
That could be legitimate threat in the future, but this video is about hurricanes, not sea level rise
Good informative video! Thanks for making it.
You're welcome Isaac, glad you enjoyed it😊
I lived there for about 15 years and never experience one. Came close couple times.
You're lucky! I've been here 13 now and been through Irma. Hopefully no more, but who knows
What east coast area doesn't get hit by hurricane
This is true
GREAT PAGE... I HAVE A JEEP RUBICON 3 INCH LIFT WITH A SNORKEL GETTING READY TO MOVE TO FLORIDA READY FOR THE FLOOD TO EVAC LOL
Oh yeah, you'll be ready for just about anything here with that jeep. I have seen several around here like that with the snorkel. Would be interesting to put it to the test😉
I noticed you have the older LT1 camaro 93-97 . Those are problematic. If it was the 98-02 LS1 it’s like a whole different car with power, speed, fuel efficiency and reliability 🏁
Yes I do, and it has given me it's fair share of troubles over the years for sure. I have thought about selling it many times, but so far, have not been able to bring myself to do it
@@MichaelBordenaro maybe you can do an LS1 swap !!!😀
@@jenniferbeatty7545 Now that everything is in good working order on the car, I don't want to even touch it LOL
@@MichaelBordenaro Understood!
Michael Bordenaro I heard Florida’s smog laws are relaxed. You should put the newer LS1/LS2/LS3 engine in that car and you will fall in love with it all over lol
I have been in central FL for 18 years and the only significant hurricane was Irma.
Being in Central Florida you’re pretty lucky as usually you won’t be impacted anyhow. I’ve been here for 14 years now and it was the same for me Irma hit us hard
@@MichaelBordenaro the issue if livingi not central FL is we can be impacted by multiple angles. Depending how the storm comes.
@@BadWeatherfreak Absolutely
If you want to get out of harm’s way during a hurricane, then you should simply drive to Orlando.
Orlando is pretty safe because it’s not near the Atlantic Ocean or the Gulf of Mexico.
It's not that simple for two reasons. One everyone does that and so the hotels are super booked and very expensive. Number two it's because sometimes Orlando actually does get hammered. They got hit by hurricane Irma just as well as we did here in Miami.Being inland does not protect you from the hurricane it just makes it a little less intense
@@MichaelBordenaro Thank you, Michael, for this important information! I love your videos!
Thank you brother for the info........we planning to move around lakewood ranch in 2 years....... so I wonder if hurricanes really affects inland houses
You’re welcome! Hurricanes can definitely affect a house that’s in land depending on the direction of the storm. Everywhere in Florida is susceptible to them
@@MichaelBordenaro Thank you so much.....I watched more of your other videos and I noticed you are a Realtor......I wondering if its worth to buy a house around $275k instead of renting in the Lakewood ranch area
How’s Ocala with hurricanes that’s where I’m planning on moving, surely being that far inland it shouldn’t be bad plus I see they build a lot of the houses out of concrete
Irma was September 11. I will never forget that.
Many thanks. I love a good storm but I think I'll pass on moving to FL due to flying cockroaches, mosquitos, no see-ems and most of all the allergies. We don't have mosquitos here in Reno, nor do we have any of that other stuff, except allergies. It's why I wanted to move, to get away from desert pollen and all the sinus infections. I wanted to be near the ocean!
Thats a tough one, you can't really avoid those critters here in FL, but we do have many beautiful beaches!
I used to live near Sarasota for a little while when I was a kid .I loved it.I am a Michigander though and for the 20+ years have lived in the snow belt .My husband and I are so sick of it in Michigan the weather really sucks.After his heart attack we made our decision to move to Florida and your videos have really made me feel alot better.Just one more thing .What about the crocks ,snakes ,gators I lived there in early 80s there were no invasive species then.Gators and crocks are not invasive but I have pets am a little worried about them.
I'm so happy to hear my videos have helped influence you to move back to FL! My rule of thumb regarding creatures is the closer you live to the everglades or a fresh water pond / lake, the more likely you will encounter gators or snakes.
@@MichaelBordenaro Thankyou so much!
@@carriefeguer4028 You're welcome!
I lost power for 5 days in Seminole, Pinellas County from Irma. My house only got up to 86 inside
Sounds the same as what happened to us, what a miserable time that was
After that, I bought a big solar generator for emergency backup, and got hurricane shutters for all my windows
@@richwhippersnapper I don’t blame you that was a very powerful storm. Definitely the worst I’ve ever been through since I’ve lived in Florida
Hey man I’ve decided I’m moving to Florida, probably cocoa beach in about a month to try and live a surfing life, I’m from Cicero, IL and I’d really appreciate your help.
That's awesome, good for you! I am sure you'll find plenty of good info in more of my videos that will be helpful to you 👌
Still can't be worse than northeast blizzards.
You would ever evaluate to Orlando Florida? Since I heard even though hurricanes does hit Orlando, but it doesn't hit as hard? Or probably still best to drive all the way north out of Florida?
It probably depends on the trajectory and intensity of the storm. If its say a category 3 that is supposed to rake the coast, then I think Orlando is Ok. But a huge one that will cover the state, probably better to leave FL!
Enjoyed your story 😉
Thanks for listening
If you have no water, you can still flush your toilet by filling the tank manually from water jugs. If you live in an apt in FL, get a WaterBOB. A hurricane is no time to eat Indian food.
Do you have tornado 🌪 in Florida?
Rarely, we can get them
What about hurricane Michael
Didn't affect us here in Miami Beach, but of course was very strong up north.
Oh my Gosh
Question, how would it be climate change when you stated that we had More tropical cyclones in the early 1900"S..
I don't know. That would be a question for a climate scientist. When I said that I wasn't really referring to the storms I probably should have clarified. I was more referring to the rising water levels here in Miami and how bad the flooding is getting.
@@MichaelBordenaro Too much concrete....this adds to the flooding because the water has nowhere to go.
@@MacGregorLassie That is certainly part of it the other part of it is being only about 7 feet above sea level here in Miami Beach and lime stone is very porous and water actually rises up from under ground here as well.
This is why you always buy reliable cars like hondas and toyotas
18 floors? Omg, I remember that hurricane... that was the one close call that we had up here in the Tampa Bay area... that's one of the reasons that we moved to the Tampa Bay area... because of our location we're not too susceptible to hurricanes... I'm not saying that we don't get them but we haven't had a direct hit... I don't think since the 1960's.
Yes that walking up and down the stairs really sucked...It wasn't even a direct hit either, it ended up going south and then sweeping up the west coast. Anywhere in FL can get hit, its just a matter of time and being prepared for when it does
Storms happen. We had a tornado on Memorial Day 2019 (south suburbs of Chicago) & had 20K worth of damage. So no matter where you live there’s gonna be storms. That said I don’t mind tornados & hurricanes but F earthquakes. I had a few releatives that rode out hurricane Andrew & it sucked, but they survived.
Yep I know, and everywhere has their own unique natural disasters. And being from IL, I have seen a few tornados there. At least with a hurricane, you have a chance to evacuate before its too late. Andrew was a terrible storm, and your family was lucky to make it through👍
i was there for hurricane Andrew but i was really young so don't remember too much of it. but if i still lived there and they say evacuate, im with you, i won't drive 30mins or 2-3 hrs away... ill be leaving the state of florida 😆..... bye 👋 🏃🏽♀️
That’s good you don’t remember because I have a friend that grew up here also and he remembers it and it was a pretty Trumatic experience. Definitely, have to get the hell out of here when it’s something that serious!
When I was in Florida the herracain hit in September 30th
Maybe you are thinking of another storm, Irma made landfall in FL on 9/10/2017
Who’s here because they moved to Florida this year and Ian is on the way? 😅
Funny!
When there is a hurricane coming.....get the gas and water! Lol just like here in the northeast get the milk and bread
Yes, absolutely! The stores are actually a lot crazier here for hurricanes, than I saw for the virus
Michael Bordenaro actually want to experience what it is like to be in a hurricane.
vincent walden rivera thats interesting, and dangerous, but its a good experience if you are safe
@Dan C - Beer is also a popular item before a hurricane. Hopefully people can keep it in a cooler full of ice if they lose power.
I want to move to Florida but my dad doesn't cause the hurricanes
Yep that is a big concern here
June to November is only 5 months. Not 7. 6 if you want to go into December.
Hi
Hey
okay i wanna to florida so bad but it the hurricane it not i doing wanna deal with it because it not a problem it just i scared to get my house knocked down or from dying from them
The reality is you will always be at risk of hurricane anywhere you live in FL. It is part of life here, so you must be able to handle that if you move here
ok can you do a video of how to stay safe during a hurricane
@@whatsmytea7082 That's not a bad idea. I may do that
I was born in Florida in 2012 April 23
Prep like your camping.
Pretty much
Apartment, 96 Camaro, Miami…this guys knows meteorology!! A true hurricane expert
Hurricanes are actually good. If you examine the damage you will see why it failed. Florida has building codes now and when the failures are built back they are much stronger. I read a report that anything built after 2012 can survive a cat 4 hurricane.
Thats what they say...but the truth is a lot of these structures haven't been put through that real test yet, I hope its true but only a real storm will reveal how strong these new structures are
So much for Answering the question how often do hurricanes hit Florida
So much for watching the whole video, the answer is in there
As far as a good reason why the hurricanes may come about in more frequency/ intensity, is when you see USA taking steps to further a peace plan with Israel. YAH our heavenly father will use hurricanes as perhaps rebukes to our nation for us trying to step in and divide his land Israel. William Koenig wrote a book about this- Eye to Eye, Facing the Consequences of Dividing Israel
Maimi should be getting hit waaaayyy more and just barely missses the hurricane.
Interesting video except for the fuckin ads which totally ruing it.
RUclips creators work really hard to put up a video for us to watch it.👍
If I like their videos, I watch the ads for at least 30sec, some are actually interesting and I watch it till the end...anyways, my point is that the creators get monetized from those ads (not even that much) So if you like the videos, learn something from it or just got some entertainment out of it, the kindest thing to do to support the channel is to watch the ads for a bit and then skip it😉✌️
You went and “did your own research” oh man CNN would be do upset with you.

If you live in an apartment or a small house, buy a portable camping battery so you can power your laptop, phone, and microwave during a power outage. GoalZero makes good ones.
