Ok, I have lived here for over 22 years and we are already prepared for any hurricane storms. Why isn't the rest of Florida, Alabama, Lousiana and Mississippi. It's not like these Tropical Storms and Hurricanes are surprises, this is the season for them. Come on people, get serious, stop worrying so much and just prepare, if your that affraid, head up North or East. The media makes more of a fuss on these than they really need to be. If people, after hearing it for weeks, seeing it more than once, or even living through one, isn't ready and prepared for them by now, then they deserve anything that happens to them. And if the tourist think they are not harmful, then count them in the STUPID People. Don't act frantic, stay focused, do what all you can do to save yourselves, your family, your pets and home, then stay alive. That is what the word "SURVIVAL" was created for. It's only God's test to see what we can handle and to put things back in order, that we seem to make out of order.

I understand being prepared, but it's because people loose their minds and get scared that our prices shoot up and we ourselves out the insurance companies, oil companies, food prices and all other prices to shoot up. The storm is days away, the storm's course will change 4 more times before it makes landfall..calm down, keep your heads and stop allowing these companies to feed off YOUR FEARS!!!
