I was going to say no hurricanes but after Sandy I guess I cant.
Wait a minute we had no problem near Philly. No problem at all. If you live near the ocean yeah you might have had a problem.
My brother and Mom live in Houston and Moms in a nursing home. Twice they had to skeedaddle.
She said she wanted to retire someplace where its warm!

I found leaving (with a hurricane of significant strength approaching) best. I closed on my house a few weeks before Ike hit in 2008. I left Texas on Thursday just to be safe. I later looked at a pic that someone posted from a point on U.S. 59 south of Lufkin on Friday that showed bumper to bumper traffic out there in the boonies re people trying to flee the hurricane ---- 24 hours earlier I had experienced no traffic at all at the spot where that pic was taken. I awakened in my hotel room in suburban Memphis, TN the morning after Ike and the wind (hundreds of miles away from the hurricane) had lifted up all of the outdoor furniture and carried it into the pool.
