I am in coastal Virginia and even here the tidal flooding, hurricanes, nor’easters and hurricane threats have increased since we moved here years ago. Flood insurance has risen every year. I am anxious for my husband to retire so we can move , We are thinking of doing the opposite of what you are considering-moving back to our hometown of Pittsburgh we left 30 + years ago or moving near our kids in DC if they remain there. I’ll take some snow (which I grew up with) and traffic congestion over hurricane threats and flooding any day. I just don’t want to be 70 or 80 years old and having to worry about evacuating! Or the massive preparation , anxiety , and cleanup involved with flooding. Asheville or Charlottesville at this point in my life would be more appealing to me than coastal towns.
