Miami Ranked #1

Posted on July 20th, 2010

There’s excitement around Miami’s new basketball lineup for the Heat being ranked number.  This isn’t the number one ranking weather.com placed on South Florida.

“Despite a long history of major hurricanes striking southern portions of Florida, metropolitan Fort Lauderdale and Broward County, and the nearby city of Miami along with many of its suburbs in Miami-Dade County, have gone for decades without experiencing the direct impacts from a very damaging hurricane.  At the same time, the population has soared and building has boomed in an area where essentially every person and structure resides within 20 miles of the coastline.”

This is frightening to read and it’s being reported about all over, here’s where to find it mentioned on the Miami New Times - http://blogs.miaminewtimes.com/riptide/2010/07/miami_ranked_first_for_cities.php
