8 am Wednesday, Florida time. Things are eerily calm and quiet.

I mean... you could evacuate.

I'm doing some looking around and, while there don't appear to have been any in Naples itself, there were evacuation shuttles not too far away yesterday and local transit fees were waived.

I don't think these are homeless families who missed the buses taking their kids out to the beach.

I mean it's not like Florida has an idiot shortage. Look who they elected for governor.

Stop looking so hard for victims to blame, Squid.

These people are probably sheltering in place but, again, they have time to kill until the storm falls. Means to leave involves more than just transportation.

Means to leave involves more than just transportation.

Such as what? Because if they had nowhere to go, they would be taken to a shelter where they could get things like food and medical care. Pets are even allowed to come. If nothing else, at least get your kids out of there.

Also, tell me about these impoverished people all living in Naples.

Edit: Let me guess, homeless surfers...
