Residents and tourists in cars, trucks and campers clogged highways Thursday in the big gest evacuation ever ordered in Florida, fleeing inland as mighty Hurricane Frances threatened the state with its second batter ing in three weeks. About 2.5 million residents were told to clear out ahead of what could be the most pow erful storm to hit Florida in a decade. Already a Category 4 storm with 140 mph winds and the potential to push ashore waves up to 15 feet high, Fran ces could make itself felt in the state by midmorning Friday. Residents and tourists streamed inland in bumper-to-bumper traf fic. Geoff Connors of Fort Pierce sat in a lind of about 50 cars slowly merging onto 1-95 in Fort Pierce. He had enough cash and clothes to get through about five days, though he wasn’t sure where he would end up. “I figured it was smarter to get out of here now. It was a snap decision,” Connors said. All of Miami Beach, with its Art Deco hotels and flashy nightclubs and restaurants, was under an evacuation order. Erika and Brian Marwood, who moved from Colorado to Orlando two months ago and huddled in their bathroom with glow sticks and candles while Charley rushed overhead, made their way this time to a Holiday Inn in Tifton, Ga. “We thought we were doing a good thing getting away from the snow, but there are no hurricanes in Colorado,” Erika Marwood said. Gov. Jeb Bush asked his brother President Bush to de clare Florida a federal disaster area and make storm victims eli gible for recovery aid. Federal officials promised they had enough people and supplies in the state to handle two disaster-re lief operations at once. “We were successful with Charley because we w-ere mas sive, overwhelming and fast. For this event I want us to be massive, overwhelming and fast squared,” said Michael Brown, director of the Federal Emergen cy Management Agency. The Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral was or dered completely evacuated for the first time becauJ the dual threats of high and storm surge.
