Still no good answers about why local and state officials delayed issuing an evacuation order[/quote]

No, it doesn't. BTW get better sources. Xtina got her taxpayer funded job because she was good at being an online troll. She's never been there to actually provide information to the public.

If it doesn't help you then I can only assume  you are not capable of reading......

"Mon, 2pm Lee County was still only under a Tropical Storm Watch. At 5:29pm Lee County went from TS Watch to TS Warning. NWS focus was still Tampa area. It wasn’t until 5:29am Tue that Lee went from TS Warning to Hurricane Warning."

They were in the cone of uncertainty for a couple of days before the storm actually hit. Their actual storm preparedness manual said to evacuate people days before, they just didn't follow it.[/quote]

The path of the hurricane, even when it was predicted to landfall closer to Tampa, always put Fort Myers, Sanibel and the rest of Lee County, under a Storm Surge Watch/Warning. There was always going to be a dangerous storm surge, and someone dropped the ball in communicating to people what that meant. DeSantis, by saying stuff like "it's people's choice if they want to stay" didn't help. No sense of urgency was communicated to these people.

Also, DeSantis and his GOP friends constant denigration of experts and scientific opinion doesn't help in these situations. The NHC did a great job predicting the path and strength of Ian - Florida officials didn't do all they could have to get people out.[/quote]
