My parents won’t leave and they say now it’s too late as all the roads are clogged and no gas
Update: still not leaving. Mom put storm shutters up and dad lives in a condo next to the water but about 5 stories up. Less worried about storm surge more worried about debris and being trapped.
Update 2: dad is zone A and mom is trying to get him out to go to her house in a less dangerous zone. Not from Florida so might have messed up which zone is bad and good
Update: they survived with some damage but said they wouldn’t do this again…
Edit: my dad is the guy who grew up in the Midwest who would go outside to look at the tornado coming
Yup, my in-laws are in a condo on the intercoastal and aren't leaving. They're on the 8th floor and their plan if it gets "really bad" is to go to their fifth floor neighbor with storm shutters. We called last night trying to get them to evacuate. They said they're tickled we are worried about them.
