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

    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.
