Does Iron Horse Jockey still wish to retire in the Caribbean?

[JOE]

....doesn't seem like a very climatically hospitable place to me.



But it's his money time and retirement so he can do what he wants.



Still, the growing uncertainty and unpredictable weather must be forcing people to re evaluate their retirement or vacation destinations lately.



My hunch is that the conditions will become even more severe on the next 20 years, particularly in that part of the world.

Well Kahbuzz, you folks down South have had a lotta storms in the past.



I certainly remember Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans.



However, these latest ones - was it 3 in a row? Harvey, Irma and now Jose. Does seem rather out of the norm, even for Texas or the surrounding regions, wouldn't you agree? And far more severe than anything previous in recent memory.



One article states that if Toronto Canada had received as much rain, it would be 90 meters under water:

Somethin's up. Somehow, I don't think things we've been accustomed to, will be the same in the future.



And I'm not blaming Trump, his Right Wing think tanks or the anti-global warming lobby.



Even if all of the above had nothing to do with it, the world weather patterns are changing.

[kiebers]

Coastal areas and islands have storms. It's the way it has always been and the way it will always be, regardless of weather patterns.

Anyways Kahbuzz, it's been a really educational experience watching the news about these storms from afar. It blew my mind. I remember Hurricane Katrina and how bad that was - destroyed New Orleans. But this one, even for a layman like myself, seemed really bad. The Mother of All Storms?



Heck, before this story hit, I didn't even really know where Houston was.



I thought it was some place inland high up on a plain.



Don't think I'd plan to retire in the Caribbean or Florida.



You'd have ta buy hurricane insurance.



Looks nice in the postcards or TV.



But reality shore woke me up.



I'll stay on the West Coast for now.



The West is the Best.



I've always thought Northern California where Mount Shasta and the Redwoods are, is the nicest place in the States.

I don't know, but I would prefer he never mention me specifically again in a thread title. So, he probably will.

Oh. you once mentioned something about retiring in the Caribbean.



So I thought I'd write a thread about it.



I've been to Florida, Key West, in better times. In January.



It was nice. Canada was under snow. Great getaway.



But lately, I heard 25% of the homes there were destroyed.



Nice place ta visit, that area of the world.



...Wouldn't wanna live there tho'.

I'm actually a good looking guy IRL, Fashionista.



If you come to Vancouver, I will give you a complimentary ride in a nice mercedes limo.



Your husbad too.



I'm sure we'd get along if we met, Fash.



But there's too many distractions round here to make a friendly connection.



Cheers,
