[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They move the planes and crew out of the storm's path. They don't want either in harms way. This always happens, and it shouldn't be a big surprise. They move planes out ahead of big snow storms too.

Ok. But yesterday was still 3 days before any Irma wind would hit MIA. Next. [/quote]

Evacuations started Wednesday. Crew has left the area with their families, or they need to prepare for the storm. This always happen. You're not special enough to risk everyone's life and property. It's not like evacuations are a 10 min drive. [/quote]

Yep!  It took a relative nearly 14 hours do do a 3.5 hour trip.

He was posting updates along the way since so much of his travel was spent sitting in traffic, not moving.  Plenty of pictures of cars in the median who'd run out of gas or overheated.  Stories of people with extra cans of gas charging $50 for a can to those who'd run out.  [/quote]
I suspect the PP has never seen an evacuation, and has no idea how it actually works. In theory, you can hop in your car and go. The reality of it that you and thousands are doing it at the same time. At some point, when people have all gone and picked up relatives and things are as stocked as they can be, they will make all lanes northbound to move people more quickly. It will still be a 10 hour trip. [/quote]
