Hell nah, no thanks. It looks like an unprepared disaster happening. I went through Ivan in 2004 in Pensacola and they made ALL North and South bound lanes go North. By tomorrow ALL lanes going South need to be shut down for evacuations. How many people are going to be stranded in this, or stuck in an accident no one can get to?

Amazing my granddaughter and her daughter were in that mess trying to get home to Alabama

I'd go to the county evacuation shelter. Their staffed, safe and out of the flood zones you can also return home quicker.

[universalmother]

We live in Ocala. It has been like this all day.

[LifeInMontana]

They should open south bound for evac, or at least 2 lanes! Am I right? God speed all our brothers and sisters and pets!

[gray_f]

OMG... there we are at 9 secs, looking at the traffic now, so glad we left, prayers to those stuck in traffic and those who are staying 🙏🙏🙏

[lovelifelaugh]

Taking 19 up to Alabama from Saint Pete praying for everyone who doesn’t evacuate

[Feelgood]

Insurance companies be like “we have stopped servicing the state of Florida”

[reneefinsel]

So they haven't opened up the lanes on the other side yet?

I feel terrable for my friends and relatives that relocated to Florida to get away from winter Snow and temperatures for the 8 to 12 weeks every winter
I suppose no matter where you live, you’re gonna have to deal with mother nature. Whether it’s earthquakes, tornadoes, oppressive humidity, very high temperatures. I guess every climate has its dark side..

Maybe leave in the middle of the night are find another route

[rockytopronnie]

At least people are leaving as bad as being stuck in traffic is.

[isartoraplatz]

23 million people…
1 million leaving
22 million more
Stayed👈🏼
And look at the
Road…..
No way out..👁

[stevedawson]

I wonder how the electric vehicles are holding up in that traffic?? I would to hear from you EV owners!!

[auburnjewels]

Lol! There is nothing "north"!!! South! Key Largo is the best place to ride out the storm.

[stevetaxpayer]

The drivers up ahead need to stop poking along.

[rw]

If i was in that area i woukd drive the closest non flood zone and ride the storm out in my car. I75 would be the perfect place to ride it out in your car. I wouod pull over and sit there until its over

[LauraWilson]

What about people that can't leave.people that live in nursing homes that are in the hospital. Homeless people. People in jail, prison, animals in zoo.
