As a lifelong Florida resident, I can offer this tidbit of wisdom... Hurricanes suck. For six months we are on edge. Last year was the worst. While they might not have all been huge hurricanes, 4 in six weeks in already low-lying areas took its toll. Until last year, we hadn't had many major storms in recent history. We got spoiled, we got cocky. Same with the entire Gulf Coast. People just have to remember that Mother Nature was here first and she has PMS like every other woman. Just be prepared and heed warnings. That's all we can hope for.
