Yeah, those may work.
The bottom line is that Florida needs to rethink how it handles hurricanes. The state now has a population of over 20 million and there is no way to get that many people relocated north in a timely manner. Is Georgia ready to accommodate ten million visitors at once?
One of my co-workers elected to evacuate during the recent Irma crisis and wanted to get a hotel room in Tallahassee but ended up driving to central Mississippi before he could find a room.
I'm not sure what the answer is but the current plan is flawed.
