I've mentioned it before and I think it still holds true...I was no "prepper" (and aside from "for hurricane season" still am not) back in 1997. Had things gone the T2k way back then I'd probably be dead within a year, along with all of my loved ones, regardless of Orlando and surrounding communities not being struck.
Even if by some miracle there was enough law and order to prevent the inevitable widescale panic looting, food would simply run out. The canon description of Florida is basically that it's Somalia-by-the-Gulf-of-Mexico. I could see New America dragging cars (or rather, myself and a few other hundred "unclean" types dragging cars) across the runways at MCO and other major airports in the region to stop any relief aid from coming in, followed by summary executions/forced labor extermination camps.
Then the hurricanes hit; what was it, five major ones by canon from '98-'01? Of course without any warning at all.
Might as well have just put an entry in Howling Wilderness that reads "FLORIDA: completely depopulated" and moved on to the next.
(This is the kind of misery tourism that makes me run a decidedly non-canon stateside...)
