Would it be better to try to take some older back road two-lanes? Or maybe those would be just as backed up.
I suppose most would evacuate north of the track but it does not look too bad for s.e. FL just tropical storm force winds.
I would say don’t go for a Darwin award on this one, it is currently a cat-5 and even if it “weakens” near landfall it is still going to be bringing in all that accumulated surge and a cat-3 landfall is nothing to write off either for potential wind damage.
Just as bad. The locals know how to get around and it’s still gonna back up. All of the roads feed into the interstates eventually. It’s a mess
Back roads are good if you’re in with a local redneck.
