There's been a lot of talk saying welp people should of left, and although I agree that you should pay attention and leave when told, there was just not much time from Ft. Myers south. I think the evac order was sent out Tuesday afternoon. These are mainly older people, it's already raining and windy, hotels are booked by then. The storm was on top of them quickly here after cuba.

The sheriff of Lee County, Florida, told "Good Morning America" on Thursday morning that deaths from the storm in the area were in the hundreds.

"We have fatalities in the hundreds," Sheriff Carmine Marceno said.

That's why you evacuate even when you aren't ordered to if you are anywhere near the storms path.
