I understand completey. I've spent most of my life in FL, you just don't take off at each hurricane that comes around.
One of the issues we dealt with (working in a nursing home) was that if you took off at every hurricane threat, you would being killin' several residents each time.
So we really, I mean, REALLY had to believe it was a justified move. The only time the town evac'd, every nursing home lost 1 per 50, on average.
