No, we aren’t leaving. We live 40 miles inland, so flooding is not an issue.
We have got enough food and water for a week. Our power lines are underground, and we have a gas stove, so we shouldn’t have issues with electric and cooking. We have batteries in stock and chargers charged; lots of flashlights and lanterns, in case the power does go out. And we have both a gas grill and a charcoal grill.
Our house is cinder block construction with hurricane strapping to hold the roof on. We feel quite safe. Our forecast is for winds of 20 to 60 mph and about 6 inches of rain. We have been through weather here just as bad with other storms that didn’t get near as much national attention.
Here is a link to a map of the wind that you can zoom, rotate, etc.
