Here is the actual map of evacuation orders in Florida as of now. You can see that much of the panhandle is under no such order, and people who must leave needn't travel far. The state has arranged with Uber to provide free rides to shelters. www.floridadisaster.org/evacuation-o... 2/2

Accurate graph from the Florida Division of Emergency Management showing nine counties, mainly along the Florida panhandle's western shore, with mandatory evacuation orders.

Does anybody know what’s with the orange county south of Tampa that’s not under an evacuation order.

So Uber donated a great deal to the DeSantis campaign, is the message I'm getting, here?

So, how does the mandatory order apply to/affect the meteorologists from The Weather Network who are apparently headed to the Tampa Bay area to “ride it out”? Madness.

OK, looks like that misleading map was produced by a Dallas meteorologist who emphasized (after pushback) that he was only suggesting places to go if there are power outages, despite titling his graphic "WHERE TO EVACUATE?" Not great! www.facebook.com/DylanFederic...

Screenshot of Facebook post described above, with misleading graphic and the text:

EVACUATION MAP - Massive evacuations are underway in Florida. If you’re evacuating for Hurricane Milton, here’s a list of cities where you can avoid major impacts such as widespread power outages.

And later an additional note:

NOTE: THIS MAP IS TO AVOID WIDESPREAD POWER OUTAGES IF YOU'RE EVACUATING

For Hillsborough County (Tampa), it's only Zones A and B that are under mandatory evacuations. I'm not discounting the seriousness of this, just sharing local accurate info. Only the red and orange zones in this pic are under evac orders.

Thank you for posting this! I did not realize the other map didn't have an accurate source
