OK - This may come to nothing but it's way too early

2. I lived in PB County for 7 years

When I first moved from Ohio I was scared to death of hurricanes as a weather nut. Every tropical wave coming from Africa had me glued. Each year though I calmed down a little. Then it got to the point where it wasn't until an actual hurricane formed I'd even bother with the cone, etc.

I can see how people sort of get complacent as Floridians (or I should say any southeast/east coasters) after an area hasn't been hit so long. I wasn't in Boca Raton when Wilma came through but all of my neighbors were. It really shifted and nailed Palm Beach County/Broward in the middle of the night.

Back in Ohio...more straight line winds and tornadoes here. At least you get a few days notice of a hurricane.
