As a proud Floridian, I've lived through some pretty wicked hurricanes. My parents and grandparents have seen it all, too, and we can all say that Floridians handle hurricanes a little differently than other states.
Our distant cousins in Texas, our neighbors in Georgia and the Carolinas, and our pals over in Louisiana have all felt the wrath behind some of these storms, but maybe they weren't as prepared as we are in the Sunshine State.
As Hurricane Dorian barrels towards Florida, we've begun our many preparations for our first hurricane of the season.
