Effective immediately ... officials are issuing a general resident evacuation for all residents living from the Seven Mile Bridge through Key West due to Tropical Storm Rita, which is expected to mature into Hurricane Rita later Monday. |
I would like to think that people pay attention. |
Our policy is to call for a general evacuation in areas that might be prone to Category 3 impacts. |

The National Hurricane Center is telling us that there is some risk that Rita might reach category three status as it approaches the Keys. |
This is our fourth storm but this one is really aggressive. This one we are taking seriously. The damage is going to be substantial. |
This took everybody by surprise. |
We cannot have people just breaking in and taking weapons and ammunition. That's something no one even thought about until we watched the news from New Orleans. |
We don't want to get caught. We want to make sure that by Friday night, we are all set. All of this could change if the track changes or slows down. |
