Please be kind if these questions are ridiculous.

1. Do we have to worry about the life threatening storm surge the news is reporting? Will our neighborhood flood?
2. Should we drive to the Orlando area and get a hotel room in a high rise building?
3. If we stay here, what should we do to prepare?

Thanks for any help you can give!
No storm surge here.
Look at this thread, discount the silly posts. Some good suggestions there.

Don’t panic!

Plan just like we did when a lake effect storm was coming off of Lake Erie.
