You may want to rethink that, given that the storm is wider than the entire state of Florida...and the exact track is far from known.

While I will be staying, I'm certainly not going to look down my nose at those who choose to get out...because they may turn out to have been the smart ones.

While I wouldn't be surprised with heavy rainfall and even winds that could reach 70+ mph, we could also very easily lose electricity for days...so that's the primary issue that I'm planning on and preparing for.

I'm with you, I'm gone if there is any danger, but, I just don't see any. My fear would come into play if this storm goes into the gulf but not east of Florida.

The "developers" have been busy with landfill south of Florida City. They have to stop short of Cuban territorial waters, hence the difference in milage

IMHO its too late to evacuate I 75 is a parking lot

Too late to get out.
Wish we had gone.

Still do not trust the television weather channels,
due to 20 years of scare tactics ( all about ratings).

[Blessed2BNTV]

I'm concerned now given the possible path through the state.

I evacuated yesterday to North Carolina. Be safe all...it seems we have a long road ahead and we may have problems we haven't even thought of yet.
