WHY THE FUCK DO YOU PEOPLE LIVE THERE?
You'd think people would realize "gee, maybe it's not such a good place to live after all"

Good question and I have gotten this alot from family and friends outside of FL alot lately. So here are my reasons.
Sunny weather (most of the year).
Warm (lowest temp last year was around 40 degrees F.)
No Snow.
Southern Women. (Gotta love them)
For the most part people here a friendly and have the "laid back" southern charm.
The last time a major hurricane has come through Central Fl was more than 40 years ago. If I remember correctly I think it has been cold and snowy almost every year up north. (please let me know if I am incorrect)
In the recorded history of Florida there have never been 2 major Hurricanes in a 1 month time period. We have had Tropical storms and the like but they come and go pretty quickly. Snow lasts for a long time and so does the cold.
A natural disaster can happen anywhere as well as a disaster created by people. We all choose where we are for one reason or another and deal with the problems of our choices.
