So many rabbit holes to fall into while walking around this topic. I stuck my head in a few. Scary stuff if you have an over active imagination.
We lived on the coast, south of Houston, for 25 years. Evacuated twice, stayed for 4 hurricanes and 2 tropical storms.
The tropical storms were the worst, heavy flooding.
2 hurricanes, we were using a generator for a week. 1we were without power 3 days, I bought a generator soon after.
The 2 evacuated, traffic was jammed for miles. Was sitting on the highway, 6 miles from town, waiting on a traffic light in town. Luckily, I had 4WD and knew the backrooms. 1000s ran out of gas sitting on the highways. Insanity. One storm, we lost a lot shingles and lightning hit A/C.
The 2nd was anti-climatic, but we evacced to Austin and 7 tornadoes.
To leave or not has many factors to consider.
