Hopefully they're evacuating!

The last I knew they hadn't, and weren't planning on doing so. By the time they decided they were going to, the roads were practically at a standstill and there were no vacancies in any hotels on there originally planned router (to Tennessee). They're pretty much going to ride it out, as far as I know. I'm sure I'll know more later.
My aunt, who is the oldest of the family members that reside in Melbourne, is actually in my area visiting, so that's good.
I have family that lives down near the everglades apparently... They aren't leaving, by the time they decided they wanted to, the roads was too packed to do so... Told them to leave several days ago.
Some guy on CNN this morning was saying the hurricane will pick up energy going over the Everglades because they're warm water. I hadn't thought of that.

Yeup, they are like 90% shallow water and grasses/bushes.
