You have to ask yourself:
1-Where would you go?
2-How would you get there?
3-Can you transport enough stuff to survive the trip?
Otherwise, stay in place and make the most of it.
We’ve evacuated twice since I have lived on a barrier island, 20 years. Both times there was little to no damage at our home from either water or wind. The main reason for the no damage was simple, the storm made a last day jog away. I do not regret having left, not one bit.
When we decide to go, we leave a day ahead of the crowd. Bring papers, hard drives (we work from home), clothes for two weeks, extra gasoline, cash, and guns and ammo after boarding up against wind damage. We have a bunch of provisions and water at the house for return, if and when that happens because if there is a lot of damage, there will be no electric service perhaps for along while.
It is not enjoyable, we just try to make the best of it. Since my mom passed, it has become easier as I do not have to make plans for her making the last one not more difficult than going away for a long vacation.
Last and above all, I do not rely on the government to tell me when to go.
