saying that, if you do that, you ve got to have provisions for at least three or four days because you could become isolated. again, st. marks is really now in danger of becoming isolated to because it does, it is so susceptible to flooding. even when there is a storm, not of the size of a hurricane. so wary of got to try to get back to st. marks as soon as we can tomorrow morning, but we may not be able to get there. we are going to try to mobilize as soon as we can. again, the bands of wind and rain are heading this way towards tallahassee. a lot of power crews. we ve seen a station near her towards as we pull out of st. marks. the emergency evacuation is something in florida and, like everywhere else, they cannot physically pull you out of your house, but they have gone door to door. we have been told by emergency officials in the county, where st. marks is, that they did send deputies door to door to knock on doors to try to get people believe. several people did heed the warning
