Shelters safe or leave completely?

I thank you all for explaining this. I am in the dreaded Fort Pierce and evacuations have not been forthcoming they say until 6am in the morning except for residents of the coastal A1A, but I am wondering if I have not made a horrible mistake by not leaving to parts away from all this (Naples). The current track shows the storm headed to Port St. Lucie. I will be evacuating to a shelter, but I am scared that the shelter will be in the brunt of the storm. Should I seek a shelter a little further west, or go to the one in Fort Pierce or PSL? Are most shelters designed for this sort of thing, one of this magnitude? It's an elementary school.
