As a former Floridian, now in Tennessee, all I can do is try to make sure my family in Florida is in as safe a place as possible. I offered them a place to stay, but circumstances would not allow it. At least they forced my sister out of her trailer in Orange County. The closest part of my family are all in Central Florida, away from the coast, and have a generator. I know there are others who could not or would not leave. I’ve been there.
The only other thing I think they could have done to get some of the ones that could have gotten out to leave was to shut off the internet and cell towers. I have a fear that some are staying to get 15 minutes of fame broadcasting the storm’s arrival.
They will fair better than most #WeAreHurricaneStrong
