TD 12, soon to be TS Katrina, has formed in the Bahamas. Looks like it will come ashore on the east coast then cross and hit somewhere between myself and Wingnut (Sarasota and Naples). Should hit our area(s) Friday night or Saturday morning.

Crap I was totally not paying attention to the weather this week, Thanks Chimpie.
 
Crap. And I was going to come down that direction this weekend. Thinking about just a little weekend getaway in Sarasota, maybe hit the beach or something. Guess I might want to reconsider, eh?
 
At least for this weekend.
 
I haven't been looking at the weather AT ALL. Thanks for the update.

Orlando looks pretty good though. Thank God.

Are living expenses high down there in flordia? I'm looking to relocate next spring.
 
Depends in what city you're going to live in. Where I live it's insane actually. :angry:
 
Yeah, Wingnut is in one of the best parts of Florida, and you PAY out the arse to live there.

My county is pretty good except there's not much night life. But the beaches and sunsets are out of this world. Travel about 20 minutes south of me to North Port and you'll find decent living prices.

PS TD 12 is now TS Katrina.
 
And I have a class that starts saturday...figures.


There isn't too much of a night life down here (if clubbing, etc is your thing) Most people drive to Ft. Myers to party. But it's not a long to drive to get there or even to Miami/Ft. Lauderdale area and lots to do there. If you like quieter entertainment, we have a great area (5th Ave) to eat & hang out. There's a couple dance clubs in there too. But Naples is more of a retirement/golfing community.

I think the 3 cheapest places to live in Florida are Inverness/FLoral City, Niceville and Plant City. I know people who live in those places, they like it but it's nothing compared to Sarasota and Naples.
 
As one of my favorite websites, fark.com, puts it: "Katrina and the Waves to perform smash hit in Florida this weekend"
 
Cost of Living here in the Navarre-Fort Walton Beach area is not to bad. Of course with the price of gas these days, its getting to be crazy!
 
Orlando is getting pretty costly over the last 5 years or so but there are a lot of services around here to work for. I live in Metrowest, 15 minutes from disney, 30 minutes to a beach either coast, but the nude beach is a bit closer :P And about 5 minutes from Universal and downtown. If ya like to party though...like some of us :blink: it's a good time. Lets just say, I've been here for a 1 year and I'll probably only be here another 1 to 2....so it's okay, just spendy and well...a "mini" vacation.
