Anything that experiences Florida's west coast becomes geriatric, it's the nature of the beast.

Nice. Here is the way I heard about how the population in SWFL shifts:

When people get old, they move to St. Petersburg. When they get really old they move to Naples so they can be near Bonita Springs....where their parents live.

Wow, dang dude! I work in Bonita! There isn't much of that here anymore, they all... went.. to somewhere else. Got to expensive for SS Checks.

It finally just stopped raining in Palm Bay, but the roads are so flooded you just can't go anywhere! It's just amazing how the water is filling backyards, front yards, and major roads in Palm Bay!

Best Wishes to all those living in FL dealing with Fay! I hope you are all safe, and that your property is as well.

More like a Onespeed storm! A lot blowing and not amounting to much!

For me this storm was like sitting on the pot thinking you're going to do a great dump and all ya do is pass gas.

Not sure of the current demographics, but when I moved to Charlotte County 10 years ago, it had the highest median age of any Florida county.

All the rich old people move to Naples and Sarasota. The (much larger) middle class of elderly move here and take all the jobs high school kids normally take so they can supplement their social security and live in "RV" parks.

When I lived in Indiana we had windy, wet, gray, stormy days, except it was 25 degrees and the wet stuff was snow.... The entire state didnt shut down.

I know we gotta prepare for the worst, but I think local news/"Fear TV" drives people to hysteria. This isnt as silly as the storm that we shut down a few years ago where it never even rained, but it is close.

Good thing you got out of there then - eh? What a horrible place; windy, wet, gray, stormy AND 25 degrees?!?!? I would have left for hurricane country too!

Will someone give this storm some directions OUT of my area? We are still being deluged by rain, rain and more rain.

You can thank Onespeed for that.
Don't mess with the Onespeed.
