Oh my yes, they have accents in Florida.. let me tell you a little something about Florida. There's 2 sides to Florida that most people don't think about. You have the industrialized Florida, the Florida where the elderly go to retire, you have Miami and the neon strips of the 80's, the architecture surrounded by water where you can have a mansion that you can pull up to in a boat, basically the Florida of Scarface.. And then you have the other Florida, the one you don't see on TV except on shows like COPS, the toothless, alligator/turtle eating, barefoot fishing off a freeway overpass with cars zooming by, eating crawdads found in a creek, living in shacks and eating roadkill Florida. It's an interesting state.
florida even now is state of many accents because so many depending on what part of florida you are in come from some place else.
and remeber we are talking of a future after a war and a lot of other nasty stuff could have caused massive population shifts.
or for that matter trip's parents could have come from the panhadle area and moved to florida.
kids often reflect their parents accents.

As a native Floridian, I noticed the errors from the first airing.
Not only does it miss Panama city Fla.---there is no way that path could kill 7 million people. That is the least populated area of Fla & a highly sensitive ecological area that in Trek future will probably be even more protected than it is now.
Also a thin slice across Cuba wouldn't kill that many people either. Not one major city is in the path. even with a future population of 10 billion people on Earth it's very unlikely that that path would kill that many people.
UNLESS the areas near the beam had some sort of 'radiation' or other fallout.
Remember that in an early season 3 episode they revized upward the casualty count. It's possible that Elizabeth was vacationing in the beam's path and was killed initially and then later the rest of Fla (and parts of Cuba etc.) has mass dying due to some kind of fallout. perhaps even uninhabitable for years--hence "my hometown is destroyed"

i live in New York State, in New York State there is actually to towns with the name Greenport. Though only one of them has a postal address. the other one is part of Hudson.
We might want to remember that a big part of California is underwater in the 2150s, although due to earthquakes rather than rising sea levels. Still, many a coastal community might have to relocate by that date. (Surprisingly, though, the old New Orleans is intact, or perhaps rebuilt, in the DS9 era.)
And who's to say Florida would remain uninhabited in the 2150s? The middle of Mojave is lush parkland, with megapolis structures, by the 23rd century.

I also liked how they said the beam traveled from Florida to Venezuela, and yet the damage is nowhere near Venezuela.
Either Berman and Braga (who wrote the episode) made a goof, or the effects people don't know their geography.
Well, NOBODY knows their Geography!
