TV is one of the fastest growing areas in the country. Includes Wildwood, Fruitland Park, Leesburg and Middleton. With more people comes more crime. Yes, it's still relatively safe, but being prepared is always better than relying on luck. By that same logic, it also wouldn't hurt to have a couple of weeks of canned goods and dry beans and some drinking water in case there is an extended power outage.
