It's not worth it. There's a reason we don't plan trips to the beach in the late summer and fall. This is peak hurricane season. We were ~80 miles inland when Katrina hit and ~30 miles East of the eye. It was a cat 1 by the time it reached us and we still had >$80,000 in damage including losing part of our roof. The power was out for 22 days. We were fortunate to have spring/well water since the city water lines were busted from flooding. Two tornadoes spun off from the storm near us, one of which reached F3 and hit our local town, ripping the roof off the high school, destroyed a church, and several houses, killing 3 people. That was a long couple of days riding that out and a long 3 weeks afterward without power. It took 2 weeks to open up our road to outside access. More than 40 trees had fallen across that 10 mile long road plus the downed power lines. My father was a diabetic and needed to keep his insulin cold. He took two milk jugs, tied a long rope around the handles with a his insulin in one of them with ice packs and weights. He sank it to the bottom of our pond where it would stay cool and used the other jug as a cork so he could pull it up. He'd canoe out there every morning, pull it up, load up his two syringes for the day, and sink it back down.
Trust me. You don't want to be down there when this thing hits. It is not a pleasant experience.
