We've lived 30 years in southwest Florida and only ever evacuated for two 'canes. The last one we evacuated for was a Cat 5. Our evacuation actually brought us to TV land, and we basically stayed. I don't think we would evacuate for a hurricane from here, unless it was a cat 5 headed directly at us from 90 degrees off the coast. You don't have to worry about storm surge here, and by the time a 'cane hits land, it starts to wind down.
