Florida Airports Assess Hurricane Ian Damage (Updated) - AVweb

Christy, where do you live? I’m based at F45 in south Florida. The tornado that hit HOW was 200 miles away from the hurricane. Over 50% of the population of the USA live within 1000 miles of F45. Within 1000 miles of F45 is Boston, Chicago, Tulsa, Dallas, Costa Rico, Columbia. Nearly 100% of all trop storms and hurricanes are within 1000 miles of F45. I would be moving 10 times per year. Having spent 32 years owning aircraft in North Carolina and Florida, it takes a much more nuanced decision on when to move an aircraft. Many times I’ve made the decision to keep my plane in a solid hanger rather than move the aircraft and tie it down. I doubt if anyone on the NY metro area moved their plane when Ian was within 1000 miles of them.
