    Not too much though. Florida makes a great breaker for those hurricanes. Get rid of most of it or make it all swamp, you’ll have more storms into the core areas.

    We may get that anyway with stronger storms, Florida or no Florida…

        Nice wiki link. The Talk section is also interesting, mainly concerned with the list of cities that are called Fall Line cities in the two Fall Line entries. I noted it because my location is on one list but two other places more eastern are on the other list, so it seems to be a very ambiguous definition, as geology tends to be.

        But Florida isn’t, so suck it! :p

        (Although Florida isn’t all low, there will be Floridian islands still, for a while)

          I’m from Georgia, and the definition is completely unambiguous around here. Maybe it just seems more ambiguous in the Mid-Atlantic region because the escarpment gets a lot closer to the coast.
