So true.

FL has had hurricanes where people panic, drive hours right into the area where the huricanes accually end up hitting the hardest. Wish people would think calmly and rationally.

If one wants to panic then worry about tornadoes. That's what we see more of in this area. In that case good luck finding a "root cellar". Most houses barely have a center enclosed space.

Advice, pick up yard fly-a-way stuff: Put away all the yard ornament decorations the deed restrictions say you aren't supposed to have.

Grills, move them inside. A Villa neighbor had a fluke wind gust, on a normal sunny day, create a tunnel wind. Her grill lifted and struck another neighbor's gutter. They are heavy but sh*t happens.

The Wizzard of Oz drives these type of things these days. Iykyk. Just watch past patterns and one will gain a sense of how hurricane patterns turn out most of the time in Central, FL.

Being on a *****ula (funny I mis-spelled peninsula and got a bad word lol) not many places one can go, especially when accurate news reporting of the non-speghetti hurricane direction plus traffic from actual evacuation areas, leaves one with little time to get to safer areas.

Snowbird panic often creates more chaos on the roads, in stores and at gas stations than is necessary or good.

Relax, stay calm and get necessary items ahead of time as in FL Gov does tax free prep time period in late Spring/early summer to assist with people chilling out to avoid store bum rusher horders and chaos creators.

Saw a ton of people filling their golf carts with gas. Making them a little heavier?? That is not going to put enough weight for a tornado. Quick, run to lowes and buy hundreds of bags of sand to weigh it down.

Maybe these golf cart gasers are fleeing via golf cart?? Now that's an exit plan this long-term Central, FL native has never seen.
