If you cannot take the heat then it might be best to get out of the way of the storm. If your leaving then leave early as the roads could be jammed up. Since this area is full of seniors we are on the priority list to get power restored. Good luck and enjoy mother nature. It will actually be raining sideways.

Did see some of that sideways rain in Palm Harbor, FL in 2004. Very noisy too.
