Any Port in a Storm...

My younger brother lives near Gainesville fl.. They got lots of rain and wind.

I live abot 10 miles NW of Gainesville and the outer edge of the storm was to the East of us, we only got about 1/2" of rain out of Ian and very little wind over 30MPH, we were very fortunate on this one.

When I was in Louisiana in 2005 working Hurricane Katrina and Rita we were roughly 10 miles from the gulf coast in farm country and many cows and horses survived by taking refuge on porches of homes as they were the highest spot that they could find.

Man, hurricanes are nuts. If the wind doesn't get you, you have to contend with the water, and that seems much harder to hide from. Not saying forest fires are any fun, but man. Speaking of which, i smell smoke.
