Are officials concerned about a possible “fear factor\ with Frances coming so soon after Charleys devastation?
Yes. The last thing they want is more people getting on the state’s highways than need be. With Charley, many people left the west coast of Florida only to get in the storm’s path in Orlando. Officials continue to urge people to stay with friends or relatives close to home in a non-evacuation zone or a local shelter as a last resort instead of getting on the highway.
