Megan Miller wavered on whether she would evacuate as Hurricane Ian approached Florida.
Ultimately, she decided to leave, pulling her camper from Sarasota to Dothan with her dog in tow. Her mother remained in Punta Gorda, about 60 miles south of Sarasota and not far from where Ian slammed Florida’s southwest coast.
Miller was prepared to hook up her camper and leave Dothan Thursday morning until she heard from her mom. She was without power but OK.While Hurricane Ian weakened to a tropical storm on Thursday, it was forecast to become a hurricane once again before making a second landfall in South Carolina. Miller grew up in Sarasota, and earlier forecasts put the storm on a path closer to Tampa Bay and her hometown. Miller, who lives in her camper, said in her experience hurricanes always make a last-minute turn. It has been decades since Sarasota received a direct hit, but a friend convinced her to evacuate rather than taking the risk. She plans to stay in Dothan until the winds calm down more.
James Sturgeon evacuated with his wife, son, and the family’s dog in their motor home that he keeps fueled up and ready. They live in Plant City, Florida, inland between Tampa and Lakeland.
