I agree completely... we're on high ground, the highest elevation in Broward county, we're a solid construction and we're protected on all sides... our windows are protected, so we should be fine, except our electricity might go out... our house survived hurricane Andrew, although all our trees and shrubs were gone...<g>

<<The trouble with this hurricane is it could hit anywhere on the east coast of Florida>>

True, not to mention the absolute worst case scenario, where it grinds north right on the coastline from Melbourne to Jacksonville. 2nd worse scenario would be landfall at Melbourne followed by the eye passing over Orlando. Probably reasonable for some of the evacuees to head to Tampa/St Pete, the storm would at least have to pass over 150 miles of land before it gets there and will be significantly weakened by then.
