We were in a tropical storm in Myrtle Beach with wind gust of 60 plus. in an RV. We rocked and rolled, but were fine. We parked our golf cart next to the camper and it did fine. Don't recall seeing any flying golf carts that day...although a few awnings were destroyed.
We had hurricane Fran hit us in Raleigh as a cat 1. It suddenly gained strength and we got it worse than the coast. But we survived. Most of the damage was from huge oak trees falling over onto houses. Palm trees are really just big weeds and don't usually fall on people's houses...
But I do agree, you should always have an inner space (closet, bath) ready for a tornado. No matter what weather we are getting. Stock it with water, cash, batteries, radio, dog supplies, I also keep a waterproof folder with papers. You never know.
Just be prepared. there is no need to panic. Enjoy the wonderful sounds of the rain and a day off to get things done around the house with all the rec centers and golf courses closed...
