what is being done to evacuate puerto rico?

40. They were no real evacuations in Florida

I live in SOFL. Some newbies from up North freaked out and fled up 95 like morons, and got trapped and ran out of gas and caused problems. The elderly, sick, etc. should have evacuated to the CLOSEST safe place: a friend's, family, a shelter, a hospital. That IS what evacuation means. Most people who evacuated, except for people who panicked and caused huge problems, went west of 95 and stayed with friends. Went over teh bridges in Miami and FTL and stayed with friends.

It even takes days for a very orderly evac of the Keys to happen, and it is never a total evac. You cannot force residents to leave.

HOuston isn't Florida -- we know how to prepare and are ready, and we do not have Houston's terrain or building codes. Most fo us live in Post-Andrew building or updated pre-Andrew buildings. Losing power for days sucks, but sheltering in place is safe. And, doesn't cost any money, except for extra batteries and Hurricane snacks, but chips and Krimpets and Medical MJ are not expensive.


FLORIDA DID NOT EVACUATE SOFL DID NOT EVACUATE

I understand your concern, but people who have no idea about thsi telling those of us who do to evacuate is maddening and annoying. Please do not do this. It is also so insulting. To people in SOFL, Puerto Rico, etc.
