Re: Wilma Becomes Category 4 Hurricane

Think it's good to look at your options, however, we are still three or more days from landfall. The forecast path could change significantly. I can tell you the whole city of Miami or Ft Lauderdale will not be asked to evacuate. I lived through Andrew down there and frankly people just hunkered down. Katrina was the first storm where I saw large groups of people evacuate, but for good cause. FTL and MIA do not have the same concerns. Now if you were in Naples on up through Tampa I would be very concerned and move inland, but FTL should be fine. Follow the directions of the EOC. If asked to evacuate then do it. However, your only option is to go north, and frankly the path of the hurricane has yet to be set in stone.
