This storm has much uncertainty in it.....enough that people should not wait for forecasts.

The smart people started to move out on Tuesday.

The vast majority of people left in South Florida are risking death and should not be given sympathy.

"...should not be given sympathy."

You still need infrastructure, which a city that size needs a lot of.

You have:

Hospitals, Drs, Nurses, Therapists of all stripes, people on dialysis; LEOs, dispatchers, firemen, paramedics; City planners that need to figure crap out in order to be orderly, government stooges, lawyers (Yes lawyers), etc...

and don't forget about:

The people on the low economic scale where resources are thin, elderly who are not exactly mobile, the people who move the less mobile, and all the employees who basically worked because the models were all over the place.

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