I would be far more concerned about this storm if we were in Tampa/St.Pete area as that area looks to be taking darn near a direct hit. Hundreds of thousands of people All trying to pack up and head North on interstate 75 that can jam up for an hour + for a fender bender(same applies for I4 East or 95) Who knows how many will be stuck there when the worst of this storm hits Florida? We live in Volusia County and while we will get more rain and flooding than I care to deal with along with some tornadoes, it will be minimal compared to the West side of the state. We will be praying for us all. This is our 1st hurricane, but I'll gladly take this rather than another 7.0 or greater quake back in Alaska. At least with hurricanes you can see them coming days ahead as opposed to having No warning of a quake.
