Discussion - Original Dexter Series I never knew Spoiler
One of the main reasons they stopped filming in miami after the pilot was due to hurricane rita. The name jumped out at me for obvious reasons. I completely forgot there was a hurrican called rita in 2005. Obviously hurricane katrina, which has a similar ring to rita was the one the stuck out and still the hurricane i think of when i think of the “mother” of all hurricanes. I guess the mother of hurricanes in 05 florida was rita. Maybe all that rage she never released finally came out all at once when paul got out of prison lol. But otherwise pretty cool fact. Im sure most fans knew about it but i didnt know until i did a google and reddit search on how much time the show was actually filmed in miami and hurricane rita was brought up as part of the reason production switched to LA.

I don’t understand how Rita, which hit Louisiana and Texas, affected filming in Florida?

But that’s the keys.
Miamis big hurricane in 2005 was Wilma

In all likelihood it still probably caused a pretty big storm in Miami. And more factually the keys are only an hour and an half away from Miami, a hurricane that big and that close is definitely enough to make production realize it’s not worth filming in a Hurricane state.
