A National Forest and a National Park are two entirely different things.

Well, when you live in any area that can be hit by a hurricane you're relying upon God to get you through. While the category 3, 4, 5, do terrible damage, the real stuff is all the tornadoes that they create. There are no basements in Florida... unless you purposely put one in if you are in central or northern FL where you have DIRT.

I'd always heard of hurricanes in FL but not tornados - I thought they were all in the west.

I've lived through some really bad ones, one as a child when I had no fear (Donna) and two more since (Andrew, Wilma). The last one that was threatening they used all of FL as a beta test for evacuating... we didn't need to but they did it and many of us wonder why (to install cameras to watch us, sound devices to control us later on? Can't have all those phone cameras and tweets asking questions you know?) I was already out of State and just delayed returning 2 weeks.

You see the same as me. I'm very concerned about all the spying. I read that they now have blimps that are going to be outfitted with cameras that fly overhead. I think the drones are a complete invasion of privacy. My daughter had one hovering around her with a camera and it scared her. Any technology IS going to be abused.

The right to personally own property was signed away by Clinton (to the UN, NWO) but that was the first thing that Bush renegged upon...go figure as I doubt he would do that today. Actually the rights to own property, how to use our water, whether we would have to have an abortion... many, many things that Act took over that other countries have agreed to as well.

I'm late coming to all this. Can you tell me what Act and what does it cover?

Actually ANY area that has damage can be closed off by officials and even residents cannot return until THEY say so... think of the people with the fires out west. But only those with address photo ID are allowed in then.

Do you think that was to stop looting?

ALL of Florida is considered a flood zone...but there are a few areas of Zone X where you probably won't flood, and don't have to buy additional flood insurance. I know the area that floods bad in the Panhandle didn't use to have to buy flood insurance and the rest of Fl residents paid for their damage if/when. I hope that's changed.

Even inland central FL gets NO sea breeze and can be quite stiffling.

That's why I wanted to live at least somewhat close to the coast. Is the ground good for growing vegetables? Our soil is so sandy you can't grow anything.
