Not to worry---we are safe!
My wife is very close to one of her cousins who lives in Fl. The night before the storm was due she called her to ask if they were going to leave their barrier island home---and got the usual no, despite an evacuation order---we will be fine 
They live in a house on high piers with an elevator from the ground floor garage to the house above. They have a generator, also on piers next to the house.
Long story short---they are now in need of a new car, it was parked down stairs, floating in 4 feet of salt water
