Will Floridians retreat from the hurricane affected areas
Or will they just rebuild and go through it all again. Seems like the definition of insanity to live that close to the ocean.

unless the government refuses to insure in the future (or the insurance companies stop insuring (which happens) - they'll rebuild.
the thing is if you build properly cat 3 and cat 4 is pretty survivable with minimal damage (you have to build on stilts too). and a few miles in even the mobile homes had little or no damage
there's danger no matter where you live. Tornados spawned off the storm and rain/wind caused damage all the way up the east coast.
Tornados are a danger to the midwest.
blizzards up north
earthquakes out west
but yeah, building on the beach - you should be able to rebuild at your own expense. the government shouldn't bail you out. then again I think extremely limited/beautiful pieces of property should be open to the public - but that's another discussion.
