I don't blame you in the least, you're location and situation, I would do the same.

We most likely wouldn't even think of bothering evac'ing, never gave it a thought during Isabel last year. We're not that close to the water, and only 4 miles from the HS, which is the evac center in these parts --- and our house is on higher ground. Otherwise we would have to go back to Delaware....I'm not going to bother.

There is only one way off this peninsula - Rte 13 and we would be required to head north - no thanks.

I live in Fort Lauderdale, about 4 miles from the ocean. 7 foot above sea level.

55 year old house, sound, CBS, hurricane shutters, but this thing scares me a bit.

Well with Isabel a lot of my neighbors headed north to Richmond. I saw right away that wasn't a great idea (boy was I ever a smart one that time. Richmond got hit just as hard as VA Beach did) and we headed south to our friend's parents house in Melbourne FL (which of course THIS time isn't an option. Gah)

If it gets bad here I'm thinking of heading out towards Beckley. That's about the halfway point between here and my folks house just outside of Louisville KY. I don't wanna go THAT far, and Beckley's about a 4-5hr drive away. And I won't have to worry about the tunnels; it's just a I264 to I64 shot.
