"Fort Lauderdale is a lot better than Miami when it comes to actually enjoying your time, because things might be a little cheaper here, there's a lot less people, and there's a lot less you have to worry about," he said. Kyle, who studies environmental economics at the University of Maryland, said he was staying with a group of friends at a rented house about 2 miles from Las Olas Boulevard for the week. They had planned on going down to South Beach to check out the night life but changed their minds after the state of emergency.
Sabrina Johnson, who studies communications at Georgia Southern University, said like Miami, Fort Lauderdale has desirable beaches and weather – but"it’s a lot safer."
