I remember my in-laws having a place on Marathon key(halfway to key West) when Andrew was coming. They tried to evacuate North towards Homestead! Fortunately they didn't get more than a few miles. FIL calls his son in Ft. Myers and pleads for him to fly down and get them outa the Keys. Son is flying VFR around a hurricane to go rescue mom and dad! They were the last plane out of Marathon.Just sent the following Facebook messenger message to my brother who lives in key west
"So I'm sure you thought about evacuation ... I'm sure I don't need to tell you that with a single exit road if you don't get out by Saturday I'm not sure you will be able too. This thing looks as scary as they get."
There will always be those who choose unwisely to stay.
Edit: sent this before it became a cat 5
For some reason FILs home went up for sale afterwards.
Good luck to anyone who is in the path of this storm.
