Florida Keys Evacuation

[Aisling]

I just heard on Fox that tomorrow morning at 9 am there will be a mandatory visitors evacuation. Why just a visitors evacuation?

That's always the first group to evacuate. After the tourists evacuate, then it's time for the residents to evacuate.

ETA~ It's Saturday for tourists/visitors. Sunday for residents. BTW, this is a mandatory evacuation.

Any evacuation of the Keys has to be done in a very orderly fashion, to avoid complete gridlock. It makes sense to have the vacationers (which are a large part of the population of the Keys at any given time) leave first. Residents have to make a lot more preparations before they leave.

I live here (Marathon) and I've heard nothing of it.
