Dunno if it's true...but I've heard they are evacuating the Keys. Only one road in and one road out...so I hope they are doing it early enough! We lived in Key Largo...the first Key from the mainland town of Homestead (which was hit pretty hard by Andrew) after traveling a stretch of about 7 miles. But, Key West is 100 miles of road before you get to Key Largo, and nary a place on that whole length where it becomes a double wide highway. Never encountered a hurricane while we lived there...but I was glad to be closest to mainland security if we had of.

We have friends in Key Largo still...and I haven't heard anything from them...yet. Keep good thoughts peeps!

And to those in Rita's path...TAKE GOOD CARE!
