@hazardwarning He does have the worst luck with North American travel, doesn't he?
@hazardwarning And this shows you that Orlando is outside the evacuation zone:

@hazardwarning This map will give you a better idea. They're on the outer edge. Not pleasant, but not a complete disaster, either.
@hazardwarning They probably closed out of an abundance of caution, and because it wouldn't be very pleasant in a monsoon anyway.
@hazardwarning They'll be OK. Orlando is inland, and well away from anywhere that will be affected by the storm surge. They'll get a lot of rain and wind, but shouldn't be in the thick of things.
@kdfrawg Saw @adam on Twitter earlier today. He's in Miami, south of the target zone. He's fine.

@kdfrawg The '71 Sylmar quake was the first one I remember, and the first big one for my mom. My dad, who had lived in California over twenty years at that point, about lost it when she started lighting candles after the power went out.

@kdfrawg I was in the 1971 Sylmar/San Fernando quake and the 1994 Northridge quake. The Northridge quake in particular felt like someone slammed a Kenworth into the side of the house at 70 mph, and we were a good 30 miles from the epicenter.

@gtwilson Closest I came was being on the very edge of a typhoon in Mazatlan about thirty years ago. That was enough for me.
