Meh..I lived here in Florida since 79 I was 2.Been through this many times.If anything other than a cat 5 comes I'm not worried about my safety. It is however a huge inconvenience to deal with clean up,no power,no air,no ice,no working street lights and sweaty balls.Nothing that makes me want to consider leaving at all you just take it as it comes and deal with it.I make a boat load of money putting up shutters and plywood so it can be an economical benefit to some.People that high tail it for a cat 3 make me laugh.You just drove how many miles to safety not knowing if the storm may follow you.I can understand people with health issues ect.Again I wouldn't mess with a cat 5 but I have been directly hit with 3 cat 4 hurricanes with the eye passing my house and I never once feared for my safety.Stay safe and inside ,board your windows and make some babies people and go Bills
