And, whenever the Governor comes on with a live update, I turn off the television because he is just plain boring and repetitive. Just give me clear and concise information that I need to deal with the storm. OK, I'm done and I'll have another beer.

There isn't much you can say when you have a mike and you are talking about a history making storm. It is on all of our minds and nothing much changes minute by minute or even hour by hour. I think Governor Scott has done a good job making it clear this is a serious matter and that water surge can kill and remaining in a modular home isn't good either. I think he comes off as genuine and caring. Beats the heck out of Chris Christie who said something like if you don't get out you may die and it will be your fault. Which really is the truth. I think people have taken Governor Scott seriously and have evacuated.
Whatever works is the important thing and better to be over prepared. We haven't reached the bad part yet.
