They said last night officials dont want evacuations to start until they have a better idea where the hit will be, because they dont want people who dont need to evacuate clogging up the escape routes for everyone else.

(16,784 posts)Friends we made on our 3 week cruise to Australia last October. They renovate houses and sell them. Mar-a-Lago is not far from them, and are virtual prisoners when Trump is in residence.
Tammy had a Real Estate/Investment Firm she sold. Wealthy, but very grounded and Democratic to the core. She and I got into it with with some Trumpers while on the cruise, causing quite a stir on Social issues.

Edit - fixed typo

It's my understanding that other cities do the same thing. Sometime certain portions of cities are ordered to evacuate due to flooding concerns.
Also, status of evacuation orders and zones in Florida can be accessed here: https://www.floridadisaster.org/info/
You can type in an address and find out what zone it is in and whether that zone has been ordered to evacuate.
