Will the Miami Hurricanes have to change their name? I find it highly insensitive.

Well, Florida is the sunburn state.
How 'bout the Miami Redskins?

Where angels fear to tread...Interesting factoid...American Indians are very hard to sunburn. They usually just tan a little darker.

My sister (Gainesville PD) said they’ve opened up the shoulders of I-75 northbound and it’s bumper to bumper.

Maybe they should also open the south lanes to go north. (At least a couple of lanes)

They often do that on the last day of evacuation

I'm back in VA.
No tolls on the way to the airport today thanks to the Governor. He says no tolls during a hurricane or while everyone is running away. We had rain the last 2 days, I'm not sure if it was connected to the hurricane, I don't think so.
My daughter is leaving a day ahead of schedule, tomorrow. She should just make it.

Well that is good. My aunt lives in Venice, FL and her place is 13-feet above sea level. She left for Atlanta, but her husband is riding out the storm. They said they handled Hurricane Ian 2 years ago fine.

We have a board member in Clearwater who is visiting family in Ohio. Her much older husband (he’s maybe 82 she’s maybe 65) is in their house in Clearwater with no plans to evacuate. At least it’s in ‘zone c’ with no mandatory evacuation.

200mph gusts. That's a serious Cat5. She's (screw 'em, all hurricanes are female) probably going to throttle down to a Cat3 at landfall, but I'd keep a very close eye on the surge numbers.
The wife has a first cousin that lives around Tampa. Interestingly enough, they evacuated to Miami.

Not a bad idea they probably had the southbound lanes to themselves.

The one time I evacuated for a hurricane as a kid we went to Tampa. That was David in 1979. They had just started using male names that year.
