Looks like it might be too late to get out. Traffic maps look terrible.

Which coast gets the worst damage do you think? I'm guessing still the East coast- Miami-Dade up through Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie (no !!!) , Indian River, Brevard etc.

Naples fire chief is a frick nut. You still have 36 hours which is more than enough fricking time.

Hey glass, there is nowhere to go. With traffic and no gas, we would be stuck in our vehicles. We have to stay.

I wouldn't be surprised if this thing hits the gulf and runs up the west side parallel to the the Florida west coast and strengthens.

I would think the bigger problem is gas more than time. What happens when you're stuck in traffic heading north and no one has gas until you can get to Georgia? Not many cars can make that distance in gridlock traffic without running out.

So unless you have a few full gas cans to pack with you, is evacuation possible?

Assuming your numbers are right, the tree is 12.7 yards tall.

This is what really is bad with the slight eyewall shift West, a lot of people are in the same situation. Before, Miami was eyewall central, now West of Naples is the zone

There's something off with the HMONs strength. It's been way overdoing it this entire week...the path side; however, has been pretty good.

Anything east as it moves north obviously. Worst cast would it be skirting the west coast of Florida and not really losing strength then slamming into Panhandle. That would be awful because pretty much all of Florida would get it then you'd have to probably worry in Georgia/Bama because Panhandle isn't going to weaken it much.
