Wherever you evacuate to, if it's still in FL, try to park on the west side of something, preferably not a tree. Good luck.

All dependent on the actual path. When Michael hit the Gulf Coast people in PCB prepared for it...winds from the south...as usual. Because it went a bit east of PCB, all the winds came from the north (counter-clockwise rotation) as it moved ashore and the city was hit much worse than the beach. In general, there was more damage to the north side of properties than the expected south. Debris from Mexico Beach was found in the city of Panama City. The path can change the direction of the wind so the west side of a building could be the worse hit if it passes north of you. either way...be safe if you're sheltering in. There's really no safe place in a Cat 4 other than 200+ miles away from it.
