The local infrastructure is already overloaded. Trying to move the truly helpless is a mammoth job in the very least. In this scenario, its barely thinkable. So much sometimes is a “Thats all we can do, so we did it and we’ll see”.
one thing i did wonder though, as I have seen it in action before, is how did the shelters do with taking the pets?
I’ve seen it in action. One area was set up and actually sort of fenced in on the inside, as a potty for the animals. Everyone took turns to keep fighting down. This was put up hastily with a sort of slant floor and then rinsed right out the door during the storm.
If Miami had to be evacuated, they would have had to start 2 days ago.
Just curious...watching aerial views of FL gridlocked freeways.....
All of the north bound lanes are gridlocked....the southbound lanes are WIDE open...maybe a few cars traveling south.
WHY ON EARTH have they not opened the southbound lanes (except maybe one lane) to northbound/evacuating traffic?????
Texas learned this lesson during Rita. They now have all west bound AND east bound lanes of I-10 opened to the west, when a mandatory evac is happening, from Houston.
