We expect to ride this one out. Our area does not get mandatory evacuation orders.since we are far inland and no worries about storm surge. In previous hurricanes, neighbors have spooked and tried to outrun the storm and ended up in heavy rain in central Georgia. Other times some have headed east on I-10 only to have the storm turn that way and chase them up the road.
The 7 inch rains from previous storms just disappeared into the sandy soil in our area of central Florida. We'll move anything not secure inside and pickup branches after. For now we wait...
