I don't know the relationship between BFM & Florida.
But I can tell you that I was also in their position last year - except
I was fleeing a forest fire. And there are many things to evacuate - and
a very limited amount of time. So in my case it wasn't go where we were
guaranteed safe with one posession - it was try and move as many things
as possible to a place that we percieve to be safer than where we are
right now. I guess that you have to live through it to fully appreciate
the dilemma.

At least a dozen aircraft from Florida were parked on the north ramp at
BFM this afternoon. I didn't meet any of the pilots, so I couldn't ask
why they would flee a hurricane yet park at a coastal airport on the
edge of the projected path of the storm.

I realize that the storm probably will be much weakened in the unlikely
event it strikes Mobile, but if you're going to all that trouble anyway,
why take any risk? Why not go further inland to Montgomery, for
example?
