Oviedo chickens

Cock behind "Popeye's"
Cock behind "Popeye's"

Oviedo is known for a population of chickens that roam the downtown area (ironically) near the restaurant "Popeye's Chicken". There are so many of them roaming the area that often traffic stops as they cross the roads. The chickens have been featured on Oviedo t-shirts and coffee mugs and a poster commemorating one of Oviedo's yearly festivals, "A Taste of Oviedo". Contrary to that which some believe, there are no specific laws or statutes surrounding the chickens: neither for their protection nor for their removal - the latter being something some residents would like to see due to the danger they pose with traffic in the congested town center.

Hurricane season of 2004

In August of 2004, the northwestern side of Hurricane Charley passed directly over Oviedo while still a Category 2 storm [4]. Hurricane Charley was the third named storm the second Hurricane, and the second major hurricane of the 2004 Atlantic hurricane season. More than half the city as well as much of the surrounding unincorporated areas had no power for 5-7 days. No school was in session county-wide for one full school week. The damages ranged from toppled oaks to destroyed homes. The worst damage was in Palm Valley, a mobile home retirement community less than a mile from UCF. The damages that came out of Oviedo are considered to be the worst in Seminole County history. Seminole County is a County located in the US state of Florida and part of the Orlando-Kissimmee Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA. Barely a month later, Hurricanes Frances and Jeanne further battered the area resulting in additional damage and power outages, but they did not reach the level of Charley's fury. Hurricane Frances was the sixth named storm, the fourth hurricane, and the third major hurricane of the 2004 Atlantic hurricane season. Hurricane Jeanne was the tenth named storm, the seventh hurricane, and the fifth major hurricane of the 2004 Atlantic hurricane season.
