The Bermuda High has not "saved" FL yet with Dennis. Don't be so sure.

Please remember , the panhandle is part of FLORIDA !!

At the rate of major hurricane landfalls, the panhandle will be removed from the peninsula.

90% of people believe Florida is Orlando south.

They forget about Jacksonville-Pensacola.

I hate to admit it but South Florida and the Panhandle do seem to be two different states!

Why do people, even we South Floridians, continue to forget that the Panhandle is part of Florida to??? LOL...We need to remember. It's like the Upper Peninsula and Lower Peninsula of Michigan, the lower more populated section often forgets about it's lower populated northern region. We just need to be more keen at where the FL/AL borders are haha..lol.

However, after living as an Asian American in both areas, (I lived in Marianna near Tallahassee, Ft. Lauderdale, and Naples, FL in the south) I can tell you that the cultures are completely different between the Panhandle and South Florida...it's just completely different, so i'm guessing that could be part of the reason South Floridians tend to forget the Panhandle is part of Florida...but I won't go into more depth in the situation so w/e lol...i'm just blabbering.

When I was stationed at NAS Milton Field, just north of Pensacola, we referred to the area as SA, South Alabama. Your political map may call the panhandle "Florida" but believe me, it's residents are not really typical Floridians.

This is all just so much splitting hairs of course, but now that I live in Delray Beach I feel as if I now live in "real" Florida. The panhandle is truly a different place, about as like the rest of Florida as Washington DC is like the rest of the US.
