Okay don't laugh

I'm the first to admit I don't get the change of season thing. I've lived in South Florida since I was 13, we have tourist season and hurricane season... so bear (bare?) with me here.

Before I left the lake 2 weeks ago, I noticed trees turning to fall colors. Especially noticable were the ones across from the Catholic Church in Alton.
But this was early August! What's up with that? This was our 10th summer here, and never have I left with fall colors. What will it be like when I come back in October? Will I have missed all the excitement?

What are the weather conditions that facilitate this early color? What leads to such localized changes? How often is this seen?

Thanks to any who may reply
