Yeah I get that. Unfortunately, IMO every aspect of preparing for this storm understandably jumped the gun a bit based on early forecasts and whatever effect we have probably won't wind down until sometime Monday. Curfew from Saturday afternoon to sometime Monday for what may ultimately be a tropical storm or barely Cat 1 for most of the county doesn't seem rational to me at the moment. But maybe it's needed when schools shut down Thursday / Friday, which led to businesses needing to do the same so no one is watching the store. I don't recall anything so far in advance of the storm for Frances, Jeanne or Wilma, but maybe my memory is fading. I also don't think Miami-Dade has anything like this county-wide but maybe that changed since this morning. Anyway, I'd rather have a curfew and miss the storm so it'll be fine.
