I know some folks who left Galveston Island to visit relatives in San Antonio (close to 300 miles inland) when [I forget name] tropical storm was predicted to make landfall near Galveston.
It ended up missing Galveston *completely* (weather was bright and sunny in Galveston), but it wandered inland and then dropped a HUGE amount of rain right on San Antonio, causing major flooding and power outages.
My friends were not amused.

I was living in San Antonio when that hurricane came. We did have major flooding and some people were killed because of it. There was also a tornado spawned which took out part of the roof of the VA hospital.
