Default A good trend - keep it up

Folks are finally waking up and leaving the coastal areas of Florida.

------------------------------------------
NAVARRE, Fla. - For Linda Campbell, a minister who conducts weddings on the
beach, leaving the waterfront means leaving behind part of her livelihood.
But after three hurricanes in a decade - including two in the past 10
months - she and her husband have joined other repeat storm victims who are
now planning to sell their Florida Panhandle homes and move away from the
water for good.
"How much more can we take?" asked Campbell, whose barrier island home on
Navarre Beach sits near the spot where Hurricane Dennis rolled ashore
Sunday. "I kind of feel like I keep experiencing a death over and over
again."

"We really love Florida, but we're leaving the beach," Linda Campbell said.

Three hurricanes couldn't budge retired law professor Charlie Jones, 73, and
his wife, Sugie, 63, from their Navarre home on usually peaceful Santa Rosa
Sound - but after a fourth, they are also talking about moving inland.
