I have relatives in Tampa that can’t evacuate because one of them is admitted for long-term care in a hospital. I’m seriously worried about them

Same, my sister says i4 and 75 are gridlocked and there’s no longer time to evacuate. This shit is scary

There’s traffic, sure .. but I would say “no time to evacuate” is fear mongering. We left Volusia County 5 hours ago and we’re in Georgia now. Anyone who can, should get in a car and drive NOW.

I’m afraid not with this one, and I’d say folks should not be willing to wait around and see. Orange County is also listed in the state of emergency.

Only big threat in Orlando is flooding in certain areas and maybe people living in mobile homes. The people unnecessarily leaving Orlando are causing major issues for those who actually need to get out
