[quote=Anonymous]I’m from Florida and have been through several major hurricanes.  Floridians don’t pay much attention to forecast models days out. We have learned that meteorologists are never right about where the hurricane will make landfall until it’s much closer.  If we worried about every hurricane, we would be perpetually on edge.  We start getting serious when forecasts become more reliable.  Usually about 24-48 hours before landfall.  Those of us who live in coastal communities or flood prone areas are prepared at the start of the hurricane season. We know our evacuation zones and routes.  We have supplies.  We’ll decide whether to stay or go.  We gas up all the cars immediately. If we stay, we will make a run to Publix for extra water, snacks, and beer. We’ll trim trees and bring in outdoor furniture.  Then, we’ll have a hurricane party and grill all the meat in the freezers.

No one ignores the possibility of a major hurricane.  We just choose not to live in fear.  We know when to start getting concerned.  That said, I’m in Ponte Vedra (just south of Jax).  I’m getting concerned.  We are in the first evacuation zone.  University of North Florida just cancelled classes.  This definitely has our attention.[/quote]
