That wasn't a non-sequitur in the least. I was telling you many of us here couldn't understand "Florida is 90% RH..." (Rental Housing? Red Hot? ...?) without googling. In California and the PNW, 'RH' is not a common acronym; on the weather forecast in the rare event they mean '[relative] humidity" they'll simply say 'humidity'.

>> AFAIK the Miami metro averages one hurricane within 50 miles every 6-8 years.

> We haven't had a landfalling hurricane here since 1921 and we had an in-county hurricane relief project last year. Storms tear crap up even when one-liners hint otherwise.

I specifically said "passing within 50 miles of the metro area", not "making a direct hit on downtown". My bottom line was "How much weather-related work disruption does the average FL IT worker experience (hours/days/yr), how disrupting is it? compared to the rest of the US? How much advance notice do you get to plan around it?" or "How many days/hours delay or closure does Miami airport average due to same?" (Do airlines rebook you, or give you the Southwest treatment? Is it covered by trip insurance?) I don't know what your job function is but sounds like you experience more disruption than the average IT worker.

Don't assume the rest of us here know; some ballpark numbers would be useful. In comparing Miami to other cities (Orlando/Tampa, Mobile, Houston, Austin, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Raleigh, etc.).
