[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When we first moved to Florida we evacuated every time there was a storm warning now five years later we stay put. The reason why is that when we did try to out run the storm, we kept having to drive and drive and drive because i the storm track keeps moving and eventually one time we  went all the way to North Carolina to try and avoid it and that eventually got a tropical storm at our air bnb up there so we might as well have stayed. Also, we now live in a house that is a New Build so completely up to the most modern codes. It is not likely to lose a roof or get flooded even if it winds up being a category three or four storm.  Now, we  probably would try to evacuate if it’s a CAT5 but that’s not looking likely it for this one.[/quote]

Also I forgot to mention that the drive back down the peninsula from wherever you drive to is a nightmare - all that traffic from south Florida on 95 or 75 for hours and hours. Evacuating could mean missing a week or so of work and if you stay it could be just 1-2 days out. People have to calculate that as well. [/quote]
