I guess I usually think it’s easier to predict something more accurately when it’s a couple of days away, versus when it’s 5 days or a week out.

Well, it is, really.

As for globull warming.......

I don't know a single real meteorologist who subscribes to it.

They all know that you cannot forecast any significant distance into the future because they understand the science and math behind forecasting and the variables involved and the limitations of the computer models.

Just checked on the traffic cameras... South Florida looks like a ghost town, but here's I-75 in Alachua County (near Gainsville), via https://fl511.com:

Plywood and bottled water using the south bound lanes.

recon is finding the wind field has really expanded, the pressure is constant...however max winds are down

microwave image shows classic eye wall replacement .with a very large other eye wall..the CAT 5 streak may be over....bad news is once this cycle is complete in the next 12 hours or so...it will be hitting even warmer water...so the new eye will contract and the wind increase increase

The prevailing thought about using both lanes either side is that if they do that, there will most likely be a parking lot on both sides, that will make it impossible or extremely difficult for emergency crews to access the disaster area.

It has been discussed, that as you know, people can and do become very frightened and act irrationally during a crisis, alot of the time. They may well jump over whatever barriers are there and use the roads anyway. This has happened before.
Like a run on the bank..

Perhaps the new chiefs at FEMA decided to act out their plans, instead of planning out their acting?

800 semis may seem like a lot but the supplies quickly thin out once inside the disaster zone.

Hopefully a few tanker trucks are in line with the rest of the fleet.

Good observation! Trucks hauling supplies are the vehicles headed south. Hopefully some fuel tanker trucks too.

Right now its all about order and containment. This might jump the fence as Zero Hour gets close enough to stir your grits for you.

They must not be very concerned in Florida if they haven’t reversed the southbound lanes to northbound to evacuate.

I was wondering about the same thing. Seems a bit odd.

***Not as easy as you think and definitely not an exact science.***

Thank you, rt, for saying something that needed to be said.

Samaritan’s Purse. Franklin Graham’s charity. Very little administrative fees

That's where we are donating. Most all goes to the people who are in need...VERY little in overhead. God Bless Franklin Graham.

Some of the roads start “contra-flow” in the morning. Likewise, they have been adding a shoulder lane on US 1 out of the Keys from what I heard announced — I think they started that yesterday.
