Actually, I've lived in Florida all my life and I've never really worried about hurricanes too much. They are hyping stuff WAY too much this year. When Alberto was a tropical storm the local news (and I'm in Miami which is out of the way) it was all they could talk about. It's stupid because school isn't even canceled for Tropical Storms. I've walked home from the bus stop in downpours (whether a regular FL thunderstorm or a Tropical Storm) there really isn't much difference to me. Because of last year everyone is just hyping it up more than they used to. Hurricanes are dangerous yes, but it's only once in a while we have an Andrew or a Katrina (Thank God!)
