1. Are you far enough inland to have more tolerable winds?

Good luck

2. Fingers crossed, yes. We are far enough to the east, where we may not

experience more than Tropical winds. Biggest problem for Seminole County will be flooding. They know they're in for a ride because they have played footloose and fancy free with flood zone regulations since the nineties. Let's just say that the early wetland mitigation swaps may not have all been properly documented. If we get more than a 100 year flood rainfall within an hour, we will be way over the limits of capacity. IMHO.
