I went through a major hurricane on the gulf coast that killed a whole bunch of people when I was a kid. My Dad worked for NASA at the time and got word that it was an epic storm and he took me out of school and he and my mother and I went north days ahead. A lot of people laughed at us for being so hysterical and they stayed to “ride it out.” It was devastating.
Just get out people. The worst thing that happens is that you waste some time. You can’t save your prpterty from a Category 5 hurricane. It’s not worth dying over.
