They need to take this ad off TV

#1 Postby Jim Cantore » Thu Mar 09, 2006 8:08 pm

I somehow cant buy this Florida tourism ad, "A bad day in Florida, beats a good day anywhere else."

Tell it to the people who live there

This is the same place that has taken $50 Billion in Hurricane damage and about 50 hurricane deaths in 2 years

Florida is just fine. Other than hurricanes, heat, and an absurd number of poor drivers, it's a nice place to live. Lots of stuff around, beautiful beaches, low cost of living, and a nice blend of Hispanic, Southern, and Yankee cultures.

I live in Florida, and I (personally) hate it. But I think most people would like it fine.

And not to mention the copious numbers of the snook, the reds, the specks, the permit, the snapper, the grouper, well - the list could go on and on!!! :lol:

And even without hurricanes, the weather does change from one phenomena to the another just about every day in the summer - I like that!! Nothing like a tropical downpour on a hot August afternoon!!

And the best is when you get a good seabreeze collision. On a good day during the summer the collsion can lead to a nice line of strong storms over the state which produces some of the best lightning displays in the united states! I love being on the coast, seeing the collision happen inland, and then watching the storms drift toward me (especially at night). It is quite a peaceful experience. The best place for these summer collisions is Central Florida where you can expect them nearly daily between late May and mid September.
