(11,949 posts)At least if everyone takes their advice. I live in Florida and want the best for everyone here. And I cannot disagree that if someone has a place to go and a way to get there then by all means go. But I remember the panic and can develop around these storm. I just heard that some of the grocery stores, after having fighting and brawls break out today when trying to unload water into their store have decided to wait till closing and stock the shelves at night. And have the police in the stores when they open in the morning. I just get concerned about that kind of fear taking hold in an evacuation scenario
And I agree, I were in Bradenton, especially near the rive then I would look to leave. But if you could get a hotel on the central Florida ridge 30 mile to the east you would be fine.
I guess we really both want the best for everyone here and I sincerely appreciate your concern.
Have a good night.
Oh, I hope your house in Bradenton weathers the storm well. I drive through there often on the way to AMI. Where I am a Skinny's fan!
