Florida needs to keep an eye on Tropical Depression 8 which formed over night. It is forecasted to potentially become a major hurricane...

HELLO HANNA

Folks, it's going to be a rough and bumpy ride for the next 2 months so sit back and buckle those seat belts.

If any of you don't have your hurricane plans up to date..... Get it done now.

There is a good possibility of 3 named storms at the same time within the next week.

Unfortunately I do think a storm will also hit the U.S. east coast this season........

Wow, thanks for the information everyone. I now don't regret all the purchases I made to prepare for Fran. I hope everyone else gets prepared as well.

Ladies and gentlemen just as a reminder the Summer 2008 Hurricane Season is a high intensity ride. Please remember to refrain from standing up while the car is in motion and keep your hands and feet inside the vehicle at all times, thank you for visiting the State of Florida attraction now please sit back and enjoy the ride...
