I'm a little more concerned about this one (I've never left for a hurricane in the 10+ years I've been here) simply because the NWS is now saying this will probably be the costliest hurricane in FL history. 100 mph winds and already saturated ground means that trees are going to come down. I've got 2 huge live oaks near my house that the owners don't bother trimming or taking care of. I've got pets to think about so we're considering heading out. I have a safe place to go that doesn't require getting on 75, so that's makes the decision a little easier.
