haha I remember all those. The first one was headed straight for our house, and it was first major hurricane to come around in a while, so we packed up and went to orlando. It ended up going there and destroying my uncles neighborhood. I spent all night in a bathroom. Not fun.
After that, we don't evacuate anymore. Our house is strong enough for up to Cat 3 storms, but no hurricane has every come her directly so we are good. The only thing to worry about the hurricane, are the tornados. They are what cause the damage.
