Not while living in Florida but in Houston we evacuated twice. First time Rita changed directions and missed us completely. It was a horrible experience for those folks that got stuck in traffic trying to get away. If you plan to leave, go early. Second time was for Ike. The eye went directly over our house. It was devastating to the area. Storm surge was horrible for the coast. Almost every home had damage - especially roof damage. Power outages in some areas lasted for weeks. Traffic was a major problem due to missing or non working traffic lights. I don't think we would evacuate living this far inland.
