MODERATORS
They basically do - in addition to people who live in range of the immediate storm surge, those who live in mobile homes and other less safe buildings are told to evacuate, and evacuate can mean "go to your local storm shelter" which is often a well built community center or high school gym or whatever. They've got cots they set out. Some shelters are pet friendly, some are aimed at people with medical issues who are in trouble if a building loses power. Electrical workers and first responders are the sorts who stay to help with storm response as soon as it's safe. (Downed power lines are extremely dangerous, and making sure they don't kill anyone is part of ASAP storm response.)
Oh yes of course you are correct. I was referring to privately owned recreational facilities such as, say, golf/country clubs, especially those where the main resident saves on taxes by burying his ex-wife on the property and calling it a cemetery...
I'm sure he'd welcome a crowd of storm-tossed refugees, wouldn't he? It's Florida, they mostly voted for him so he owes them, right?
