I have a cousin in Peru, and stuck there until sometime next week. He live in South Vero Beach. He and his wife were professional body builders. Greg reached 3rd in the world, so they went to visit some friends.

My brother is in Jacksonville. My parents are on a flight there right now.....because my sister-in-law is in labor right now. They aren't going anywhere besides the hospital and it seems it shouldn't be too bad once it gets to them.

I have an Aunt, Uncle and couple cousins in Orlando. I honestly have no clue what their plans are. My uncle owns 3 or 4 factories down there so not certain he will leave.

Mother and father in law are right where the storms going to hit on the gulf coast, dead center. First hurricane they ever been through. Decided to ride it out. 2 miles from the beach. Not one of their smarter decision.

My sister has a place near Naples. She is at their summer home in Georgia now. Depending on the path they may get both places hit.
I have a nephew that got flooded in Houston. About 18" of water in their house, lost a lot of stuff but they have flood insurance.

Getting ready to go to airport, mom is on one of last flights out of Tampa. Got a retired friend in Naples staying put, very worried about him. Stubborn

My mother is in Bradenton. (84 years old) Just talked with her. She lives in assisted living. They have 120 "visitors" from an assisted living facility in south FL that were evacuated to her location. She was on her way to serve them dinner. Sounds like everyone is pitching in to help one another. The way it should be......

Wifes uncle and gf are in NW FL. She is a nurse and forced to come to work at a hospital. They let him come with her as a safe place. Looks like they will take a direct hit from the eye during landfall.

I have hunting friends around Tampa and Orlando that are more like family. They are all staying. Two of them went to different houses, because they didn't trust the one they live in and 4 of them are staying at their house.

My wife has an Aunt, 2 Uncles, and some cousins down there. About half of them refuse to leave and one is in the (from what I've been told) mandatory evacuation zone.
