Attempting to get to my family in Central Florida. I understand the Florida governor is restricting Louisiana visitors now but wondering how this is being enforced. Has anyone on here made the trip into Florida from Louisiana since the restriction was put into place?

I heard they’re harassing Louisiana drivers coming into Florida.

Just pay the usual armed jack-booted thug extortion fee and go about your business.

Pretty sure they have a road block at the boarder but I haven’t seen it so I don’t know.

You could probably take the scenic route and drive to like Dothan Alabama and then south and potentially make it easier. I don’t know

You better have your papers in order. They question you for about an hour, inspect the car and then let you on your way

Turn on GPS. It will route you around the blockade because those assholes have I-10 backed up for miles.

If you are from anywhere besides nola you will be asked to sign a paper stating you will quarantine for 14 days at the place you are going.

If you are from nola, you will be turned around.

From yesterday’s thread:

I just went though this afternoon. I have Florida plates but this is the process.

If heading down I-10. Once you get top the first truck weight station there will be cones completely blocking I-10. You will veer off into the station. There are three lanes designated with cones. Trucks and most vehicles with Florida plates are waved on through in the left lane.

Any out of state plates will be sent in the remaining two lanes. There were a few vehicles with FL plates pulled over so I'm not sure what that was about.

I spoke with my neighbor this afternoon, she has LA plates. They stopped her, asked where they were going. They had to fill out a form designating their names and address heading to. They were told to quarantine for 14 days but were told no one would be coming to check on them.

Update: I made it. I’m in the Sunshine state. Skirted the I-10 checkpoint by taking the Wilcox Rd exit and crossing the unguarded border that way. I feel like a moonshine runner or something. Thanks to the 1,000s of you who were concerned about my well being

Current Wuhan Flu stats

Louisiana 10,297 370
Florida 10,268 170

Looks like Florida needs to lock itself down also.

It’ll be the other way around real soon. Wait til this hits their retirement communities. Scary to even think about.
