2. I've been living in my house in Jax. FL for 40 years.

I live across the street from the St. Johns river, up on a hill, thankfully. I have seen some of my neighbors on the river have to install bulkheads, add lots of dirt to soggy lawns, and the water still moves up towards their houses. So glad we were aware of climate change so bought a place relatively safe for the long term. Huge oak trees are our only risk factor here, but luckily Jax. has only been directly hit by a hurricane once in recorded history and that was in 1963.
