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.
