Hurricane Michael Florida Coast RV'ers
I sure hope most of the snowbirds and full timers have not left early for Florida. Michael is due to hit the panhandle dead on as a Cat 3. Rock Crusher, Crystal River, Cedar Key are all VERY pop...

Your outlook all depends on what you are used TOO, where you grew up
I grew up in the midwest, for me thunder storms are nothing but heavy rain and a light show, but scare the xxxx out of many people
Tornados you can't predict the path and evacuate, I was there for Black Wednesday, I watched funnels go by North and South of me, the damage was tremendous, more than any hurricane, over a much wider area covering many states
From Alabama to Michigan and Kansas to Pennsylvania
I think the count was 156 tornadoes in one 24 hr period
(148 in 16 hrs afternoon and evening of April 3rd 1974)
So while a life long Floridian might be Blasie about hurricanes a transplant is not
And if that Floridian moved to the midwest, he might not be so calm when facing a tornado threat, while an Okie will climb into the storm cellar when the sirens go off, and hope his home up above him is still there when he comes out
