" I will show you the messages from yesterday that people were not given evacuation orders until just before this thing hit."
you're nuts. I live down in the keys, and followed this closely, since I was considering leaving with my infant daughter. Mandatory evacuations were in place for Sanibel, Captiva, all of the barrier islands, mobile home parks, low-lying areas, etc etc on THURSDAY. Mobile homes are ALWAYS mandatory evacuation areas for a hurricane. Anyone who stayed tragically thought the storm was going to pass by, but it wasn't like they weren't warned. They were.
For those with short memories, Homestead was not the projected landfall area of Andrew, either. Miami was. Andrew turned south at the last minute, just like this storm turned east.
Quit trying to find some sinister government conspiracy to kill people in this tragic disaster. It is a natural disaster. They happen. Mother nature doesn't know about computer models. She acts as she wishes.
I live in Homestead and you're 100% correct. Mobile homes are ALWAYS under mandatory evacuation, even with the smallest storms. People don't always listen and stay.
