they likely are seeing that by the time they can get a firm track on where it will move ashore, it will already be too late to issue evacuation warnings given the population density in the affected areas.

not everyone can evacuate, and I guess its hard to really explain to people that not everyone should. on long island where I am for example, the "evacuation" of the south shore likely involves a move 15-20 miles north. there really isn't anyplace else to go on long island. but someone on long island who is already 15-20 miles from the coast, should be staying put.

Same thing on Delmarva,, especially southern MD and VA parts. Lots of barrier islands with only one way on and off. I'm 15 miles from the coast - those people need to move more than I do.
