Small tornados are always possible with a hurricane, but nothing that would entirely blow away a house, especially if yours is concrete block. Move to an interior closet away from windows, if things get crazy. My phone goes off when there's a tornado warning, and I think most do. My main worry is the power. I've gone weeks without power from hurricanes in Texas, and it's no fun.
Every weather site has wind speeds all over the place. Looking at Accuweather, it shows us reaching 58mph with gusts at 81mph. I find it hard to believe we will only see 35mph... but I'm fine with that if that's all we get!
