Some questions:
1. Won't the northern evacuees have the advantage for lodging? If they go as far as Tallahassee, won't hotels be occupied by West Palmers and Lauderdalers by the time the Miamians and Key Westers get there?
2. An average tank of gas is good for what, say, 200 miles? That will get somebody to Orlando on a good day. What will they do then? Can you imagine the backup as everyone gets off the roads to refill? How quickly will the stations near the freeways run out?
3. I-95, the Turnpike, and I-75 are basically the roads north, right? And I-75 and the Turnpike merge north of Orlando. That's going to be a nasty bottleneck, and a terrible place to run out of gas.

All of the above is happening right now...if you wanted leave you should of done it Monday or Tuesday. Lots of places are closing now. We were in Wendys out 2 hours ago and they locked the door while we ate. Only the drive through open. My hubby has been in the hospital and I did all my shopping now have him home. Just couldn’t put him in a car to travel to Atlanta...
