I want to visit Key West, but the hotel rooms are pricey. 
Yes, I know it can be expensive to go. Have you been to any of the Keys? 
No I have not. Hasn't the Keys been hit by multiple hurricanes?
Sure have. But they have been able to build it back. 
They had a lot of help from the Red Cross post Hurricane Irma.
Yeah. A friend of my parents lost their home down there due to Irma. They actually decided not to rebuild and moved back to Louisiana. I feel bad for those who live in the path of hurricane season. But, it's the chance you take. And the keys are so beautiful...I'm not sure if I'd be willing to take that chance to live there. 
I agree. Hurricane season is from June 1 all the way to November 30. That's a long time to be worrying about a hurricane htting. 
True. I believe Irma had the highest death rate for florida, too. I think before that, it might have been Andrew. BUt, that's why I'd much rather visit than live there. 
That doesn't surprise me. Irma had winds of 185 mph. 
That's wild. It's amazing anyone survived. They had pretty good evacutaions though. I believe that truly scared most residents who usually try to "ride out" the storms.
