most of the homes in TV are safe to hunker down in during a hurricane, exception being the modular homes in the historic section
in 2017 we hunkered down here when TV took a direct hit with a hurricane...we had absolutely no damage...our home is block construction, not stick...but even the stick homes held up. The design of the roofs is critical, the developer got it right
back in 2008 we hunkered down during a Cat 5 direct hit from Wilma when we were in Ft Lauderdale, no damage (again in a block house construction)
if you're uncomfortable staying after listening to the Weather Channel on the television then seek higher ground that is away from the projected path....I do sense that the Weather Channel has become far too dramatic over the years and has a tendency to scare the heck out of people.
best job in the world is being a weather forecaster....if you're wrong and the storm misses, you get a pass,...if you nailed it and you get hit, everybody thinks you're great and says thanks. it's a win/win
