When 3 million other people have that same "suggestion" in mind and four lanes to do it, you get nowhere fast. When Frances came a-callin' everyone from Miami to West Palm Beach without much thought wanted to head north- and if they did they ran right into the storm, after a nearly two days of bumper to bumper stand still traffic on I-95 and the turnpike. Tens of thousands ran out of fuel and had to stay where they ran out of fuel... and I took the family on the normally three hour drive across (now five due to traffic) and stayed with the folks- A/C, swimming pool, mom's cooking, cold beer... and hurricanes lose power over land. The last couple trips were alone- WPB still does not have power, but I had to return to work. Thanks for the "suggestion" anyways
