Canadian snowbirds are divided on whether they want to stay or rethink their decision to own property in Florida .

Hurricane seasons are getting more intense as oceans get warmer.

Average annual property insurance premiums jumped 42 per cent last year to $ 6,000 in Florida , compared with a national average of $ 1,700 .

Ontario resident Ray Ferris and his wife spend two to three months a year at their vacation condo, which they bought in 2021 , to escape the gloomy northern winters .

For the rest of the year , they rent it out, but the latest storms could impact that.

Ferris said renting out the condo helps keep up with condo fees, ongoing maintenance and insurance.
