‘We Were Always in the Zone’
“I may not have evacuated if it had not been for the news reports,” Katherine Morong, who lives in Fort Myers, told the Tampa Bay Times. “They were the ones who told us of the severity of the storm surge and the danger.”
Morong said she had been preparing to evacuate for days before the order finally came from Lee County on Tuesday morning; the lateness of the order meant it was difficult for her to find a room out of harms’ way.
“It doesn’t make sense,” she told the Times. “We were always in the zone.”
