I can't speak for beachside residents, the ones under mandatory evac, but almost none of my neighbors that left for Frances have left this time. So the lack of congested roads may be because people who live somewhat inland aren't going anywhere this time. I certainly hope the people in evac areas aren't planning to ride this one out.
One of my beachside neighbors evacuated to Tampa during Frances but is staying with friends on the mainland in Melbourne this time. I hope part of the lack of crowds is that people still have stuff from Frances. We left the boards up and neighbors left some up but had the rest in storage.
