I don't think so.
Last year's hurricanes did nothing to slow down real estate inflation in Florida, in fact they spurred increased level of speculative activity.
If you are making 50K a month on house flipping you don't care about anything.

In fact, at the later stages of stock market bubble in Japan a massive earthquake was considered bullish for the economy and the market went up.

I believe that collapse is coming, but not for that reason.

I think the saving grace re hurricanes is so many of the condo owners don't live in them.

Let them go through 12 days in a row without power and see how much they love our tropical paradise.
