My brother and his wife and cats are evacuating again, from Sarasota to Tallahassee. They moved from Wisconsin to Florida only a year ago, and I think they may be a bit more skittish than seasoned Floridians. Last time, my dad was forced to evacuate because he was on the water, and he stayed in my brother's home while my brother had evacuated elsewhere.
It doesn't look like the storm will come close to Sarasota, but I guess you never know.
