You stated that this storm would not see the same apathy that Charley endured and that we would see the largest evacuation ever.

I'm in Bradenton, and I was under a mandatory evacuation. Unfortunately I evacuated to Arcadia which took a direct hit by Charley.

There was very little apathy here in SW FL and we already DID the largest evacuation ever. Both Pinellas and Manatee were under A,B,C evacs and Collier up to Cedar Key were under at least an A,B evac.

More than 1 million people evacuated from Pinellas and Hillsborough alone.

So please don't accuse us of apathy. I saw very very little of it. They warned and we responded.

However, next time I'm not going anywhere, unless I have time to get to Nebraska. One ride dead in the eye of category 4 is enough for me.
