A perfect example of what can happen when an area is in the cone: look at all the people who got stuck in N.O., MS, AL, Houston, etc.
Need I say more?
I'm not planning on going anywhere because a) I live inland (40 miles NE of Tampa) b) there's a shelter right across the street and c) I don't want to sit in line for 18 hours with a storm going at a large rate of speed.
For those of you who *think* you might get evacuated, just go ahead and make plans to do so NOW. Don't be like a bunch of sheep waiting for your turn to come.
You know who you are... good luck.
