The local paper today listed the people that died in central Florida because of Frances. All of them were killed in traffic accidents. I agree with Craig that staying close to home is better than getting out on the road with all of the crazies talking on a cell phone and looking for gas.

When you haven't been there and done that suggestions are easy to come by, personally i can't imagine living out where ChrisK does without the house being mounted on big springs and shock absorbers. But my favorite suggestion, now mind you that this was before Disney when you could drive all afternoon and not see anything but citrus groves, was that after we had our week of heater weather for the year that involved a hard freeze which would destroy a bunch of citrus that the dumb people down here should just build green houses over the citrus groves and that would solve the problem of freezing oranges. After all that's how we keep plants warm up north.
