A Note from the Florida Keys

The Florida Keys like many destinations throughout the state, are suffering from a misperception that the island chain was devastated by cores of four hurricanes that came ashore in other regions of Florida during a six-week period in August and September.

In fact, dangerous hurricane-force winds from all storms stayed well offshore of the region, from Key Largo to Key West, according to Matt Strahan, meteorologist-in-charge for the National Weather Service in Key West.

"Unfortunately, our lodging industry and other tourist-related businesses continue to get phone calls from potential visitors asking if the Keys have been devastated," said Harold Wheeler, director of the Keys tourism council. "The fact is that the Keys is unscathed and open for business."

Some recent visitors were surprised at the lack of hurricane-related damage.

"I was expecting to see damage and I haven't seen any," said Liz Schopfer, of Meadow Vista, Calif., who vacationed in Marathon. More details on the Keys are available at www.fla-keys.com or by calling 1-800-FLA-KEYS. The destination's Web site features a series of live Web cams to help reinforce the undamaged nature of the region.
