Semi OT: Hurricane Florence and Patriots traveling to Jacksonville

Sure but what about all those extra viewers/clicks? Isn't that worth some unnecessary panic .
I'd be surprised if every local government in the hurricane "zones" (gulf, lower eastern seaboard) doesn't have an evac zone map by storm category (my county does and we aren't a highly populated or wealthy county by any means). Simple math, if you're in that zone then you leave/evac (if you don't please don't blame your government).

And if you live in the hurricane evac zone (typically single digit miles from coast, weaker the storm fewer the miles inland for evac) yet you have no idea of the evac area, no idea of evac routes, no prep/pre thought at all, you are unaware of your elevation and susceptibility to surge or flood (meaning you generally rely on others to do the thinking)? One of BB's situational awareness pep talks is needed...

My better half lives in an evac zone in S.C, she left yeaterday but a lot of people around her didn’t. I thought she was mad for not leaving when the mandatory evac was given.

My father is just outside the evac zone moved from Cali to S.C last year this is his first hurricane. I’m sitting here on the other side of the world awaiting updates.
