Just made it into Tallahassee about an hour ago. Starting grad school at FSU tomorrow.
City is very busy at 11:30am. And I'm not talking about students running around. I'm in a hotel about 10-15 miles north, just around I-10 and there's people everywhere. Every hotel I pass the parking lots are jammed.
On the way down I saw 50+ charter busses (no lie!) in a row with police escorts headed toward Atlanta. I'm assuming this was military being taken out of the LA area.
I hope all those people in the Super Dome are safe. When I was there for the '02 Sugar Bowl the thing looked rickity enough minus 175mph+ winds!
