I’m pretty much in the middle of the peninsula. I do not have impact windows, never thought I’d need them. If a stron hurricane comes over us I would pray it is only a cat 1 versus the potential of this storm. As a person who got a degree in meteorology this storm scares me for my interests in Florida. Sometimes I wish I had pursued that career field more. My stint as an air traffic controller was fun but weather is always changing. Directing aircraft was mostly a routine thing.
In the center of the peninsula, the most effective storm damage mitigation is to clear away trees which could land on your home during high winds.

Wishing for a Cat 1 is not always the best
…or at least it wasn’t for us on the coast.
