I really don’t see thousands, as a death toll. I-75 north was a parking lot yesterday, and turnpike was moving at a slow pace as we drove to Disney. Looks like the normal get out of dodge traffic. It’s not like this is the first rodeo for Florida Costal residents. Plus with prior loss of homes, new buildings are at better code on the coast.

Parks are basically empty, and a very nice weather day. Disney Springs will be where the masses will land.
Many guests seem to be here just for a room. Value hotels seem very full from evacuations. Moderates busy, DVC not as busy.
