Even though hurricane Ernesto is still well away from U.S. landfall it is chasing the tourists from the Florida Keys:
Visitors were ordered to leave the Florida Keys on Sunday and Gov. Jeb Bush issued a state of emergency because of the possibility that Hurricane Ernesto could threaten the state.
Bush’s order came after the Monroe County Emergency Management office told tourists to postpone any immediate plans to travel to the Keys and ordered those already in the island chain to leave.
All travel trailers and recreational vehicles were ordered off the islands immediately.
Traffic on US-1 and I-95 north is about to get heavy.
The National Hurricane Center’s next update comes out in about 30 minutes.
