Life in Central Florida

Inland Florida's big middle: metro Orlando, the theme parks, and fast-growing suburbs stretching west to Lakeland and north to Sanford, with lakes everywhere you look.^4,5

Hazards: Hurricanes still reach inland: Charley crossed right over Orlando in August 2004 with sustained winds near 85 mph and gusts of 106 mph at the airport, tearing roofs from three terminals and toppling Winter Park's old oaks onto power lines and cars.^4,6,7
