BabyPINK_FL: They are evacuating low lying regions because the storm surge could be more than 20 feet (one estimate just said 30-35 feet) along with 12+ inches of rain and winds of over 120 MPH. 120 MPH is equivalent to an F2 tornado. Why take chances? ETA: It seems like they evacuate the Keys fairly regularly.

Oh yeah. they do. But usually it's mostly the tourists that leave. Some Monroe County (Keys) people take up shelter on one of my uni.'s campuses, but the building is never filled and usually I hear that it's mostly the homeless in there. Plus that is almost a different country so I didn't really think about there. How low lying are those areas? Just wondering.
