“...unless you’re in a fortified structure designed to withstand it that will not flood.”

Not that I’d necessarily wanna do it but I’ve wondered how well a person could ride out a hurricane in a place like Fort Jefferson in the Dry Tortugas.

That fort has been around since before the Civil War and still seems to be structurally sound.

There are quarried coquina stone structures built on high ground on numerous islands down there that have endured. I’d hope there were storm shutters though, otherwise you’d potentially be looking at a sort of wind tunnel effect.

“Fort Jefferson in the Dry Tortugas”

Probably the safest place one could be.
