Quote: These people located here in Central Florida. They are letting their guards down. Like Orange, Seminole, and Volusia couinties. I'm not, and I live in Volusia. I saw Charlie and Andrew. Not pretty!
There's a difference between being "aware" of where the storm is and totally letting your guard down. I still have my hurricane kit handy and all my antenna's are up and tuned into Ivan. However I no longer expect it to influence the weather in Central Florida except for a breeze and maybe a few rain showers. Is that letting your guard down? I don't know. But I would plan to have a normal week in Central Florida if any of us are normal anymore. We're all pretty much still bumed out.
