Obviously they’d have to want to move, and it needn’t happen overnight. Over the next 3 years would be fine.

Let me link this article, which says basically what I’ve been suggesting:

Aibonito (Puerto Rico) (AFP) - Hurricane Maria’s devastation in Puerto Rico looks likely to trigger a major wave of migration to Florida, which could push the politically important US state to the Democratic side, analysts said Sunday.

That’s how it look for Franchesca Rivera, a 32-year-old schoolteacher who teaches in Aibonito, a town in the center of Puerto Rico that has been destroyed by the hurricane.

“If I do not start classes, I need income. So I’m going to go first with the kids and then my husband. If classes do not start, I’ll leave in a month,” says Rivera, whose house was among the few standing after the megastorm.
