No way in hell my family would let me stay in my house if something like that is approaching. Of course, there's no way in hell I would stay in my house if it was approaching. I'd gather my pets, some important items and head for safer grounds.

Sorry for people having a hard time, but it's not brain surgery. There is a hurricane of epic proportions WITH sea swells and flooding predicted well in advance. YOu leave.. you get your stuff and you leave. Period. How could a group of adults not get that??
