So the wrong area was evacuated?
I'd rather lose the buildings than the people.
I'm not sure about evacs in that area to be honest. I know the majority were evacuated further north. I also have heard numerous reports that warnings were not heeded by a fair amount of folks. No one thought anything of that Cat 2 we had yesterday... The media was off the ball on this one, big time.
I do not know exactly what the population density is around Port Charlotte, but some location in that vicinity is currently being destroyed and carried out to sea.
