A quick note about evacuations. I had business in Ft. Myers today. On the ride home tonight there was a steady stream of westbound traffic along State Road 80. However gasoline was scarce all the way from Ft. Myers to Lake Placid. I probably passed 30-40 gas stations and about 75% were out of gas. The ones that did have gas had long lines.
The supply will get even thinner in the hours before Frances hits. I hate to think what it's going to be like after the storm passes and there's no electricity for days.
If you've been thinking of evacuating and haven't done so yet, think about how far you're going to get on the gas that's in your tank now.
