My husband says we're going to stay put....we're on the east coast, central Florida.

Me...I want to go to Jacksonville.

A problem as seen with Rita is too many people evacuating.

The basic purpose of evacuating is to not die in a storm surge, not to avoid hurricane winds. Won't be one on the East Coast of Florida.

Even in Andrew a very limited number of people were killed in the thousands of homes destroyed by wind.

Charley was a fluke in having very little storm surge. Hard to forecast the evolution of this storm but it's unlikely to be as narrow as Charley.

And a true Cat 3+ "normal" surge puts the entire towns of Naples, etc. under water, just like the coast of MS in Katrina.
