A big problem was unreliable forecasts putting land fall all over the place and constantly shifting. Everywhere from Tarpon Springs to Cape Coral.
The people were warned to get out. People have to listen to warnings because weather predicting is never exact.

We have a 2nd house in Cape Coral. We really figured until yesterday that we would have little problem because weather bureau said it would be up in Tampa area. Well, the hurricane came to Cape Coral and decided to stay there all day. Cape Coral is in Lee County. The whole county is without power. I will likely head down there this afternoon from Kentucky with stuff to cover my roof with, gasoline and a couple generators to keep as many refrigerators going as possible in the houses around me. It’s a mess down there right now. I will have to wait for the trees to be cleared before I can get into my neighborhood. I lost two nice trees that I know of so far. It’s still windy and my neighbor hasn’t gotten out much to check out my house, I’m not looking forward to the report. I’ll likely be on the roof tomorrow installing tarps to keep out any more rain. Ulgh!
If you live near the coast with a cat 2 or higher closing in you need to leave regardless, the storm could go anywhere
Correct. Friends who were in the original projected landfall area for the eye went south to avoid it.
Instead, they ended up right smack in the eye. Waiting to hear if they're ok...
Hurricane predictions are all based on computer models.
Predictions of a climate crisis are all based on computer models.
Do you see the problem?
