Can you move? I just told my husband about that list of states and said we'd be getting the heck out. NC is bad enuf. We have a great neighborhood but when my kids are gone, I may be going to FL if it stays red after DeSantis.

We can, but it’s at least a few years out. It’s hard to just pick up and leave everything behind when you still have many things holding you here. Tempting, but not reality at the moment
I fled Illinois for western NC when I retired six years ago. Luckily NC had a good midterm outcome and moved rightward a bit. Now if we can get rid of Cooper in two years. But I, too, wonder if I may have to move again at some point, but I'm not keen on risking hurricane-prone Florida just yet.
I lived in Charlotte when Hugo came through still blowing at 90 mph. After leaving for a career move, the return to NC has me in Flat Rock. It's more conservative and, as with today, we just get Florida's leftover rains.

My sympathies. It is very hard to relocate. Also, you may move to a state that is red now, but who knows the future. My county in Texas is pretty bad.
That’s what we said. Other than Florida, where is there to go?
Have family in western NC and Tennessee; TN has impressed me to some extent. Lots of growth in the last few years.

Well, I live near Raleigh and it seems every hurricane ends up over Raleigh, usually much diminished. FL gets it worse tho
