One of the good things about living near the school is they keep the power grid going when other areas are down, and blacked out with no power. During the 2004 hurricanes, some didn't have power for over a month. You could drive around and hear the generators going. They used Apopka High as a hurricane shelter in the past, but I haven't heard anything about that this time. I think Lake County said their schools will close Wed., Thurs. and Friday.

On tv, they pronounce Ian as E...an. I had been calling it I...an. Sure don't know how they get Ean out of Ian? LOL
