http://www.wunderground.com/blog/SteveGregory/show.htmlI have watched this thing like a hawk and have noticed a definite turn to the north since last night. All of the local emergency management agencies are saying that people need about 36 hours to get out but they think that they(local emergency management agencies) have until saturday to make a decision based on the computer models. This could be very nasty for all of FL. Already I95 and I75 have been much more busy over the last few days so some people have already decided to leave, but there are still a lot and repeat A LOT of people that are waiting and seeing. Pasco county has about 170,000 people that can not evacuate due lack of transportation or age/condition, and i do not know what the stats are for the rest of the west coast counties but I am assuming they are high because some of them(Hillsborough, Pinellas, Sarasota, Manatee, Naples, F. Myers) have high densities of population. This is why it could get nasty. Sorry for the run on sentence, but I am at work and am trying to type very quickly.
I have already gotten all of the usual supplies and am ready to board up the hacienda and go stay with friends a few more miles inland. Will post periodic updates as the situation changes on this thread or another.
:hide: Waiting and watching - live about a mile from the water on the west coast of FL outside of Tampa :yoiks:
