Idiots, they are everywhere^^. We hunker!! Our house was built in 2005 so has the latest code updates. Shutters are on most windows, we'll save the main doors and windows for last. Drain the pool a foot or more. No built in generator but have a 5500 portable generator (only tested yearly never needed). Have not lost power in our last 2 hurricanes, that's a plus. We are on the mainland about a 1/2 mile from the Indian River and relatively high ground (in FL an overpass is a hillclimb). We won't evacuate for the same reason as others, our 2 Cats and a fortress like house. Its just not worth the trouble. Completely different if we lived beachside. Where do you go? How do you get back in a reasonable time. You can't guess which direction these things are going to travel. And you have to decide earlier than everyone else who are waiting just like you to make that decision. Then if it looks bad, the green flag waves and everyone hits the road at the same time and.... gridlock. No thanks. Good luck fellow Floridians, for us central Florida types it is looking a bit more promising.
