My brother moved from Milwaukee to Sarasota last year. He's going to evacuate for Ivan, the third time he'll have evacuated. He e-mailed me this morning, asking me to talk my dad into evacuating. Dad lives on the mainland close to the water, but in a protected area. He had to evacuate during the two previous storms - and ironically he went to my brother's house, which is about a mile inland.

So, what do you think? Does Dad need to leave Sarasota for this one?
