Q. I recently accepted a position in the entertainment industry which requires I relocate to the South Florida area. Moving from New York City, I’m apprehensive about hurricanes. What reassurances can you give me to alleviate my concerns about the weather in South Florida?

A. According to Patterson, “ Like many who relocate to the greater South Florida area, fears of a hurricane are understandable. Recent data indicates our area has taken many precautions in the event of a storm. Plus, building materials used today are far superior to those used in the past when previous storms glanced by our area. Given the infrequency of storms hitting precisely in our area (Aventura, Golden Beach, Sunny Isles, Golden Shores, North Miami, Hallandale, Golden Isles, Hollywood, Hollywood Beach, Hollywood Lakes, Las Olas, Rio Vista, Harbor Beach, Hawks Landings, Hollywood Oaks, and Long Lake Estates) chances are far greater of a negative weather event striking NYC causing greater negative impact than those happening in South Florida.”

If you are relocating from across Miami-Dade County or across the country, contact Scott Patterson and he will make your transition a smooth one.
