James,
I don't know if you have ever seen a hurricane. I haven't. Only some
near hurricane force winds associated with Andrew and a couple of other
storms. My advice is: "GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE!". A hurricane is
nothing you want to mess with. I firmly believe the term "minimal
hurricane" should be banned as it gives people a false sense of
security. A CAT 5 storm is will scrap everything in it's path out of
the way. It is a once in a lifetime event you don't want to witness.
