Traffic when getting off Siesta Key's 2 bridges, can be a nightmare, without any seemingly good reason.
Most Everybody over 60 will say over and over the roads will be parking lots so stay put. My 86 year old dad has already started this, like he did for Irma and Ian.
I am of the belief that the NHC cone is too narrow. far too many see the center of the track within the cone and make sweeping declarations.
With it forecast to basically parallel the coastline, the smallest wobble within that cone, should it intensify as forecast will have huge ramifications on how high the water gets, and where, and feeder bands, like in Ian, can spawn tornadoes, far away from center.
i think the shape of the NHC cone of uncertainty reminds people of a tornado and they think that, like a tornado, the damage only hits a narrow strip in the middle.
Lots of Ft Meyers area residents within the bottom edge of the cone decided to stay put, as the center of the cone was well to the north,
then Ian took a right turn and kept intensifying, and they couldn't and wouldnt if they could because Flor eee duh,
It's not the heat, it's the stupidity.
