> [@Atamasama](#): > > My uncle evacuated when they were told to and he said it was total Hell getting out of Florida, the traffic was insane, but he was able to do it. Speaking from experience … the key to a pleasant evacuation is to do it a day or two before everyone else does. Waiting until you’re told to ensures a miserable experience. And in at least some evacuations it has led to people riding out the hurricane passing overhead while sitting in their car in total standstill traffic miles out in the country. Which is a different kind of disaster. ---

I’ve said before that I was literally at Disney World when Hurricane Ian hit, and rode out the storm in a Disney hotel. It was not at all fun. I’m sure it was a thousand times better than sheltering at most places, since we were pretty much safe the whole time and never lost power, and we had food, but it was absolutely not fun. We lived on plain sandwiches that we hoarded before the storm hit for a few days and all we could do was sit in a hotel room bored out of our minds and waiting for it to be over. Do not go to Disney World if a hurricane is coming. We didn’t realize before we planned the trip what was going to happen. ---

Yeah, I don’t understand this, from your link: > Palmer City Council members said they were unaware of his resignations when they offered Jellie the job because human resources officials instructed them not to conduct their own research on his background and they were never given findings from his employment check. Sounds to me that the HR department needs investigating as well. ---
