Thank you mods for keeping up my constructive criticism on the NHC. They truly did a very good job with the meteorology. A storm traveling at an oblique angle to a coastline is a nightmare to message.
It is undeniable in hindsight that knowing what you know now Lee County should’ve had evacuations on Sunday and they should’ve been under hurricane watches from the start.
I just can share so many screenshots of foolish idiots who do not know the meaning of the word mandatory and I know many paid the ultimate price. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone I know personally died. This was just very underprepared for in hindsight and the Irma near miss made this 1000x worse. Pray for SWFL. I haven’t heard from my loved one in 18 hours.
