The
weather in "Sunny Florida" presents its own hazards--from sunburns to lightning
strikes. When out "soaking up some rays" be sure to use a
sunscreen. Don't be fooled by overcast, hazy skies or a cool
breeze...even though you may not feel hot, you're still getting a
sunburn. Lightning strikes are a frequent occurrence
here. If you notice dark clouds, thunder, or lightning approaching
the area, seek shelter. If boating, head to the nearest landfall and
seek shelter.
