Maybe an odd question. How quickly after the hurricane passes would you expect roads heading back into Orlando to be packed with people returning? Do people rush back, or do they come back in a staggered fashion?

Also, if someone had a flight scheduled back to Orlando wednesday night, would you expect there to be difficulty with that, assuming no major damage to the airport?

Best practice is to follow local reports and to determine whether roads are passable all along your route. Then, you must know whether you have enough gasoline for a possible round trip back to where you sheltered if the damage makes a home uninhabitable.

Local Emergency Management Ops will have most of the neighborhood info.

If local damage is extreme, LEO will likely not allow anyone into the area until SAR has cleared the area. If local damage allows for return, have documents for proof of residence to the locattion, and be prepared for power out, water contaminated. Now--do you have enough fuel to get back to a location for shelter.

It’s also a mass return. Same places that turned interstate evac routes into all outgoing traffic reverse the process for a time. It’s almost as bad as the original evacuation.
