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!
As you can see you are ok.
We are inland so that helps.
When you have settled on a home ask the neighbors around about flooding from rain etc. Also google the past history. There can be very local problems you want to avoid.
Plan on losings electric for a few hours to a couple of days. This could happen any place you live.
