My brother and his wife live near Ft. Meyers, directly in Wilma's projected path and are nervously debating whether to evacuate. It seems like a simple decision to me sitting comfortably miles away, but for the sake of discussion, here are their possible reasons to stay.
1) The storm may downgrade (fingers crossed!) How long do you wait before losing your head start?
2) There have been a rash of break-ins in their neighbourhood lately, and they're afraid of returning to a ransacked home. (influences reason #1)
3) What if you evacuate north and Wilma veers that way too?
