Re: NHC Track

I live on South Merritt Island (between Melbourne and Cocoa Beach)...the house was built after the new March Hurricane code and was build to withstand 130 mph winds. I also added the heaviest aluminum panels for all coverings which are rated for Cat 5. The flood maps say it would take a Cat 5 to flood here as we are one of the higher locations on the island. My question is this...what threshold would you evacuate for...I am thinking about 110 to 120 mph. I am worried that we won't find somewhere to evacuate to and get caught on the road.
