The parents are hunkering down with fuel, food and water to wait out the storm, but have promised to evacuate if it gets really bad. For now, evacuation of all of the tourists is happening (you couldn't pay me to be on that 2 lane road out right now). Those locals that want to leave will follow in phases. My brother waited out Wilma in 2005 and it was a good thing he did because it allowed him to get the 2 feet of water out of the house the second it receded. In case anyone is wondering, the house is strong, there are storm shutters installed on the house, all necessary things like generators are off the ground and my parents are as ready as they can be for now. I'll keep everyone posted. Cross you fingers. It's only September. This will be a bumpy season.
