All my peeps in the southern, central, big bend of Florida, please stay safe. Prayin’ for y’all. North Florida and Georgia needs to take cover, too.
We both stayed during Ivan (cat 4-5), nostr:npub1uense4apn73tvh4u20tzlp6u72g4kdustzsm0k0sqy6yuwh5jxlsy97y76 stayed during Katrina (longer higher sustained winds, storm surge). We had 4’ waves lapping the pilings of our house, if we hadn’t moved my car to higher ground, it would have been totaled just from the storm surge water. I could go on. Suffice it to say, it was a slow-motion disaster, and we didn’t experience much damage relative to others in the area. 
I honestly don't know how folks who live in Florida do it--I'd be an emotional wreck each year worrying about all the hurricaines...
Just feel like you're rolling the dice with each one...most of the time you're ok, but occasionally you roll snake eyes...
We see dollar signs every time they show the hurricane symbol. The cost (along with snakes, humidity, mosquitoes) of living in paradise, I suppose.
