Yeah DD: Florida would get kind of tough in the summer ! A lot of people from CT, Ma, etc. Retire there and within a few years either move back or halfway back to like NC or SC, still in the hurricane zone
I don't worry about hurricanes in CT, even if it hits as cat 4 down South, it's a tropical storm by the time it gets here, I never evacuate, at least if you lose power due to a hurricane you won't freeze to death, water will work, etc.
Phoenix is a bit big city for me, I'd just move back to Vegas instead !
Tucson would be more my style
Traffic in southern Florida is a bitch to. If Florida I'd go for Daytona Beach or maybe Tampa, not Miami
