However after 2 or 3 days the cone keeps getting revised to lower/central Florida and curving eastward, heading out to the Atlantic. Doesn't it seem like the state government (DeSantis included) held off warning to evacuate because they didn't want lower Floridians coming north? Where else were they going to evacuate to? They have to drive north and either head up to Georgia or go west into the FL panhandle.

Seems like the delay in ordering evacuation was due to not knowing where this thing was headed.
