Tourists who have never been exposed to life or death weather before.
Yeah all those innocent people asked to be born there too.......
What a world we live in, wishing destruction and harm on others.

I cannot imagine the world you live in, both inside your head and the physical world.
Yes nothing to do with most the people down there seeing climate change as liberal conspiracy and their leader pulling out of the Paris Accord which when push comes to shove will allow poorer nations to wriggle out of their commitments, leading to more hurricanes, floods...... deaths worldwide. All in the name of $$. No correlation here at all. Wait is this not the right time to speak of this? How silly of me.Yeah all those innocent people asked to be born there too.......

** No personal insults - EVH **
Even if 100% of those to be affected did share those views, which they don't, are you wishing destruction on them because of your own views? How very Daily Mail reader of you.
I have family who live there, who are from the UK. They, along with the rest of the state and the islands in the Caribbean, have not asked for this, yet you have some vendetta against them because of your political and/or cultural views.

Nope, it'll be a few hours yet. Should be at the keys in a couple of hours.

suggests it’s now tracking further west in to the Gulf of Mexico; hoping it continues that track and then dissipates through the Gulf.

Just as an aside.
The thing that puzzled me was the aerial photographs of lines of traffic evacuating the danger area on the freeways, but only using one carriageway with the other one almost empty.
While I appreciate that there will be a need for limited traffic to travel the other way into the zone. It seems nuts not to have a system in place that maximises highway capacity in these sorts of situation by using both carriageways (With perhaps one lane coned off for inward traffic say) :/

The 2nd map in the below link shows how few people believe climate change will affect them personally, despite living in Florida. The 1st map does contradict this somewhat though, so is it "most"? I don't know, 50/50 might be a better guess?

Florida also banned the term climate change from any communique:

I don't agree with the guy that it's "payback" and I don't wish death on anyone but terms like karma should be expected. Do the people denouncing climate change care about the future famines, floods, other catastrophes that will cause deaths worldwide? Ecosystems ruined, hell why don't we bring up the subject on the speculation of the gulf stream shutting down? It hasn't happened yet so I guess we should ignore all this. I don't even know what to say, it blows my mind. Of course there are plenty of people in southern states who know man-made climate change is real but what is one supposed to do? If India had similar % views and a government who didn't believe in climate change, would the people say "what about the x% of Indians who know climate change is real?"

Looks like it's not going through florida as such now anyway, still, probably windy as sin
I'd never go blaming a natural disaster on anyone, who could potentially be injured or worse. Joe public in Florida will contribute as much to climate change as most people in America. I don't get the point that's being made.
No we shouldn't be ignoring it, but blaming it on people who can very barely control it? No.
I don;t think it is going through that gap. The forecasts have always had it around there and then moving straight (pretty much) upwards.

I despair at the current state of all media.
Its as if all the millennials are in charge and they do need write utter crap to justify there pointless positions.
Ok different topic but this hurricane coverage is diabolical at best.
GD is much better (OMG Did i just write that).

They do that in LA and MS. The interstates and major trunk roads have crossovers built in every so often.
