Yeah, I'm not a big fan of being on an island unless its all yours, and someplace like just off the shore on Lake Michigan. But these places with multiple hurricanes every year? Not for me. It doesn't matter if you can grow year round when just one storm knocks everything out!

Zone 6B or 7 can't decide
Hurricanes or tornadoes? Hummm... I'll take hurricanes any day of the week. Why? Because you get days notice. But tornadoes just pop up with little or no advance notice. I've been in both hurricanes while in North Carolina are spread out over a large area. Tornadoes while in Illinois are powerful and a lot more confined (not as spread out). Both can be very dangerous though.

I want to grow my own poultry, pork, milk, eggs, and beef.

That's just gross! And, certainly justifies why we do what we do!

I agree!!!!!!!!!!!!! I would cut back on meats, if needed, grow more veggies. We are a Nation of waste & to add the destruction of our food supply is not good. They need to go to other nations and do their "thing". Not here.
