Hurricane Ian hit Florida Wednesday 28th Sep !

Psh yourself, we have burning desert in the summer with Rattle snakes, hobo spiders and black widows. We have real winter not some little wind off the ocean, we have avalanches and……
A big volcano

Oh yeah, we’re on an earthquake fault too

Over to you

Almost forgot the Grizzlies
  • Avalanches ✓
  • Blizzards ✓
  • Nor’easters ✓
  • Hurricanes (projections indicate they will be more frequently hitting us in the future, with Fiona unfortunately just being a preview) ✓
  • Floods (see above) ✓
  • Brown Recluses (non-native) ✓
  • Bears ✓
  • Moose ✓
  • Heatwaves (getting worse each year and our region is actually heating faster than most other areas in the US) ✓
  • Earthquakes (major east coast fault runs straight through our city) ✓

Oh, and Maine’s mean summer temperature is the same as Idaho’s (will likely become higher in the next decade) but our mean winter temperature is 9 degrees F lower.

We also, on average, get over twice as much snow annually than Idaho (second highest average in the US behind Vermont). ;-)

Haha, we have none of those in reality as Idaho is paradise. East coast bitches for sure!

You also have the town of ‘Derry’

We have every town.

Maine is the only place in the world where you can drive from Mexico to China to Sweden to Peru to Denmark in a couple of days, before visiting Calais, Belgrade, Moscow, Rome, Athens, Palermo, Madrid, Paris, Dresden, Bremen, Stockholm, and Vienna over a long weekend.

Not many Brit’s will be visiting anywhere in the US if the £ keeps falling, from a modern day high of $2 about 15 years ago to just $1.05 yesterday it’s become unbelievably expensive, I spent about 30% what I had budgeted for on a 2 week break to Florida. Those circa 20% tips plus 6.5% tax really hike the prices, there were 6 of us so we were classed as a large party and the tips were mandatory. I’d normally give about 10-15% but that seems on the low side these days in the US.

Edit, 30% extra!

The highest murder rate per capita in the world too!
 
Psh, try living in northern Maine, where 8 months out of the year the earth is trying to kill you.

Now with added heat waves.
I visit Nebraska often, now there is a place that is constantly trying to kill you.
Below -20C most of the winter, then 40C+ in summer, and if you survive that, the flooding will finish the job.
Add that my friends there seem to own the largest gun collections i have ever seen, makes it a even more dangerous place.
