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!
You’ll be fine. It will rain a lot on wednesday, and it will be windy. It’s actually fun.
Make sure you get some extra food for wed - more than likely, you won’t lose electricity.
Thursday will be beautiful, with lots of palms branches on the ground.
