My house is just over two years old. So it's in combine with new hurricane codes. It's built with concrete and stucco, and has clay shingles. It's one story, so it's low and there are other houses right next to us on either side on the north and south. It will withstand the wind as long as we're shuttered up, and we are despite Lennar messing up in some spots (some shutter panels not fitting, missing wing nuts, garage door jams not lined up with the holes to lock it). Basically my house is like a mini shelter, which is how most of the new Florida homes are. My home is a cookie cutter, so if you want to see it's the Lennar Trevi (gives you a better idea of my description). We are way inland and are away from the flood zone (we're in D). I feel safe now. I didn't when they thought it was going to be a high Cat 4-5. Our local guy is saying that our impact here should be similar to hurricane Wilma, which I made it through with no problems. Being home, my kids will be comfortable, we aren't displaced, and we can look out for our neighbors and vice versa whom many of stayed. The big problem here is that all of the shelters are full from the coastline evacuations.

I wanted to get to Atlanta on Wednesday, but my wife, a Florida native, didn't want to leave. Now I'm thinking she was right seeing the gas shortages and how many people will need to come back.
