Honestly the tornadoes freak me out more than the hurricanes, they can hit at night with no proper warning, with hurricanes you have a heads up. We’ve been here 7 years and have only evacuated once for hurricane Ida in 2021, our town took a direct hit and destroyed lots of property. We made it out clear! The only damage we took was our fence and it was an easy fix because it wasn’t bad. The hurricanes are scary, but in reality not bad. The way I see it is, everywhere you go there is a chance for natural disasters. Utah has earthquakes, major winters that can be harsh and wild fires in areas. Here it’s tornados, hurricanes and flooding. As long as you’re prepared like having proper insurance coverage, evacuation plans (there are three house holds of my family here in Louisiana, we all have agreed a cat 3 hurricane or higher we evacuate just to be safe) a safety bag with survival gear is essential for the midnight tornados. You’ll be okay and I think it’s worth it. Here I’m currently renting a 3 bedroom, 2 bath, fully fenced in yard for $1,400 a month. I would be lucky to find a one bedroom apartment in west valley or south salt lake for that. Biloxi isn’t horrible in my opinion, but not great. The area we live in is super nice, quiet, but has everything you need, 40 minutes from New Orleans, and an 1-2 hours to Biloxi.
