Not if the Florida politicians move in too.. then you will be in a drought as was and still is effect until further notice. Considering that florida is sinking and the state is about 60% water I dont know how a drought is possible but it is indeed the case.

Oh and I do need to mention the unemployment will lower for you which is a plus so be ready to have hardly any job available and those that are (due to supply and demand) will be next to worthless in the pay department. Enjoy.
