The Washington Post has the story: "A light stream of traffic headed out of Key West on Sunday, as officials urged visitors to leave the string of low-lying islands ahead of Tropical Storm Fay, which forecasters said could strengthen to a hurricane... Keys officials issued a mandatory evacuation order for visitors starting at 8 a.m. Sunday and asked those who had not yet arrived to postpone their trips... The sixth storm of the 2008 Atlantic season picked up some momentum early Sunday morning as it headed toward Cuba, and could be a hurricane by the time it reaches the island's center, forecasters said... Landfall could potentially be late Tuesday or early Wednesday and it could be anywhere from the western coast to the southwestern coast of Florida, hurricane center meteorologist Chris Sisko said... Keys officials encouraged people who live in low-lying areas, in mobile homes and on boats to evacuate."
Rico says he hopes, someday, to be affected by this sort of problem, and will promptly pull in his lines and move his houseboat elsewhere...
