That’s a Coastal Problem! |
|
Florida is well known for its mild winters and glorious sunshine. In the last decade a few hurricanes have tried to spoil the “fun in the sun”. For some places in Florida this is true. The coastal regions have been battered with multiple intense storms. However, there is one county that continues to ride atop the Central Florida Ridge.
