Hurricane preparing in Cape Coral and Fort Myers
We are bombarded with images of; have a plan. What plan? Yes we all get water, batteries, put up shutters, gather important papers, etc. What I’m not clear about is what else? All of Cape Coral and Fort Myers cannot evacuate at the same time. If we did where would we all go? We would get in line with everyone evacuating from the Keyes. This state is only bordered on the North by land. Of course the East can run to the West and the West can run to the East depending on which side the storm is planning on making land fall, but there are not enough rooms to be had for entire cities to do this.
Remember several years ago and the Keys evacuation to the north and the north got hit with the hurricane. It brings to mind you can run but you cannot hide. The roads can’t handle that. Are we in jeaopardy of staying in our homes? Maybe. Lots of people have no idea where to go or what to do. They just hunker down and plan on riding it out.
The season is heating up. I’m here to tell you there are loads of folks not sure what to do and have nowhere to go. They don't admit it.
