Life on Florida’s West Coast

Merry Christmas, Olga

Here in Florida we have pretty much put our hurricane kits away. Cruise ships are going back to their regular non-hurricane routes, and the general mindset here is just more pleasant. Of course, it’s been a couple of years since Florida has been hit with a very bad storm. I sure wish someone would tell the home owners insurance companies to back off and stop raising rates.

Anyway, here we are off-season and well into December and along comes a storm that could potentially be named Olga. There is a disturbance near the Caribbean Sea that some forecasters are watching to see if it turns into Tropical Storm Olga. If it does, it would be only the 10th December storm since 1851.

Even if it the weather does develop into a tropical storm, Florida should be safe with the storm’s path likely taking it close to Puerto Rico and the mountains of Hispaniola.

No storms in December. I forbid it.
