8 am Wednesday, Florida time. Things are eerily calm and quiet.

Looks a bit gusty already. Those surfers in Naples probably shouldn't be in the water much longer unless they plan on windsurfing to the stratosphere

It's really ridiculous that I keep seeing people who haven't evacuated yet.

Many people have no where to go, or no means to leave.

I'm not in that region, but if a similar event happened here; there's only one place I could go besides just being homeless on the road, and that place would likely be impacted too.

Sure, but watch the Naples cam. There's lots of different people just wandering around the beach. Including families with small children.

Edit: also, I saw a bunch of buses go south on I-75 not too long ago, so hopefully they're going to try to evacuate some of those people.

Until the storm actually begins to strike the area; theres not much point just hiding inside. Can't leave, time to kill, I'm sure many public places are closed. May as well wander the beach while the beach is still there.

I mean... you could evacuate.

I'm doing some looking around and, while there don't appear to have been any in Naples itself, there were evacuation shuttles not too far away yesterday and local transit fees were waived.

I don't think these are homeless families who missed the buses taking their kids out to the beach.

I mean it's not like Florida has an idiot shortage. Look who they elected for governor.

Stop looking so hard for victims to blame, Squid.

These people are probably sheltering in place but, again, they have time to kill until the storm falls. Means to leave involves more than just transportation.

Means to leave involves more than just transportation.

Such as what? Because if they had nowhere to go, they would be taken to a shelter where they could get things like food and medical care. Pets are even allowed to come. If nothing else, at least get your kids out of there.

Also, tell me about these impoverished people all living in Naples.

Edit: Let me guess, homeless surfers...

That beach is now under water

Even more ridiculous that people on the motorway still move in both directions.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

To be fair, a lot of the cars going the opposite way on the I-75 look like they're official vehicles.

Edit: Like I just saw a bunch of buses headed the other way. I'm guessing they're going to evacuate people.
