[quote:ExposingJane:MV8zMzExNTQxXzU5MjAwMjczXzQwQjA0Q0U3] 1.5 million in Florida alone. :hiding: More than 1.5 million Floridians live in evacuation zones, according to Gov. Rick Scott (R). Late Wednesday, Scott asked President Obama to declare a federal emergency in Florida due to the storm’s “potential to bring devastating impacts to millions of Floridians.” In total, more than 2 million people were under evacuation orders from Florida to South Carolina. Scott has declared a state of emergency in Florida — as have his counterparts in Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina — and across the state, residents hunkered down as the storm approached. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2016/10/06/hurricane-matthew-intensifies-as-florida-governor-orders-1-5-million-to-evacuate/?utm_term=.8680651a1391 [/quote]

So basically all of the east coast of Florida, southern South Carolina, North Carolina & anyplace else?
Where do these people plan to evacuate to?
Get on a bus to a safe zone in a school somewhere?
Wow
I have been through a few storms in Florida, living on an island, I have never heard or imagined the day I would see millions leave their homes in an evacuation from multiple states.
Highways are only opened one-way, what if you needed to go back? Shit out of luck?
What could possible go wrong here
