Beware of Lightning!
Thunderstorms are a normal part of life in the Southern Unites States due mainly to the humid temperatures and the availability of massive amounts of water from which the storms amass their strength. Every year, lightning strikes many people resulting in deaths and devastating injuries and create wildfires across the country.
Some safety tips are: Do not seek shelter underneath trees or metal enclosures. If golfing, do not continue to play but seek shelter... metal shafts can act as lightning rods! Do not swim in pools or the ocean! Most storms are fast moving and will likely move quickly through the area so be patient and you will likely continue to enjoy your day momentarily. Leave a Comment

Beware of Mr. Alligator! Chomp! Chomp!
These creatures are one of the oldest known animals on earth and though interesting to see, may not be so interesting to meet in a personal and "up close" confrontation!
Please know that they are animals in their own environment and were here before us and they still resist a vegetarian diet which means you look "delicious" to them... carnivores as they are! Be warned and be aware! Leave a Comment

If you were to be drunk and passed out on the beach at 2am and if I couldn't wake you, and I left you there (because you had your keys and cell in your pockets) and two cops woke you up, you won't be in too much trouble, but you will have to leave the beach. The cops would even escort you to my room and say, "THIS YOURS?!?!?!"
I'm just guessing... Not that I'd know this as fact or nuthin'... Ahem...
Folks: Don't pass out on the beach in St Pete at 2am! Leave a Comment

Well, it could become addictive... I would personally like to see this more often... And you? As addictions go, I think this may be one that would not be considered especially hazardous to your health! It may even prolong it! :-) Leave a Comment

Watch out for alligators. They really are everywhere! On the highway, in backyards of homes, in lakes, and especially in this swamp we are kayaking in! Leave a Comment

Be careful in downtown St. Petersburg especially Williams Park as it has become a haven for the homeless and drug dealers. Yes, they sell drugs in Paradise too. Leave a Comment

The constant sound of sirens at night is a reminder that the beautiful scenery is not all that awaits you in St. Petersburg. Be extra careful when shopping or strolling in the downtown area. The usual warnings would apply even in the nicer areas - don't walk alone at night and just take the normal precautions. We have never had any problems, but there is crime in St. Pete, like every city. Leave a Comment

This expression I took from Don2000 .
'It is a city of retired people and there are a great number of them to watch out for. They seem to think they will live forever and are sometimes a little careless in their driving and walking habits, J-walking can be bad for their health, but all in all, things are much slower and more relaxed there.'

There are 30,000 lakes in Florida. I was told many times that every lake has an alligator – or every alligator has a like:-). Leave a Comment

there is a season for stingrays in the water, ouch when you step on them, there's a way to wade through the water to avoid being stung...check when you get there is it's ray season. Also, bring bug spray if you go out in early morning or evening. Leave a Comment
