The good thing, if there is one, about a tropical storm is that there is very little lightening. It's just a lot of wind and rain.
It appears that it will remain a weak system. That's good because they will keep the parks open. If there are tropical storm force winds in the area, they close.
I've been in this area long enough to experience 3 hurricanes and 2 tropical storms. In each case, they declared a state of emergency and put a curfew in place. No one was allowed on the roads except for emergency personnel.
We stayed at Animal Kingdom Lodge during Frances. They chained the doors closed and put sand bags against them. After that point, no one in or out until after the storm passed.
Fortunately, this storm may not be that strong.
