[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was so much advanced warning. I do not understand all these submerged cars. Aren't people bright enough to do things like take your car to a parking structure and park on an upper floor? Or are people just counting on insurance? [/quote]

There wasn't much warning for Naples and Ft Myers. The hurricane was due to hit Tampa Bay head on - then took a turn. People have had to react very quickly and don't have tons of options. How many upper floor parking structures do you think were available in the 12 hours before a cat 4 hurricane hit?

There was an envelope of uncertainty that encompassed SW FL in general, and forecasters were pretty clear that the effects from the storm would be felt wider than where it came ashore. You live in those areas and you need to be prepared, pay attention to forecasts, and have a plan for evacuation.  [/quote]

I suspect a lot of people who stayed were not well off and deciding evacuating was not worth the cost, or old and stubborn.  My grandfather refused to evacuate for Charley even though my cousin offered to come pick them up and take them to their home further north. [/quote]
