If your staying home when a big hurricane comes(cat.4-5) then its like a bug under a vacume cleaner.Chances of making it are slim , and if you home gets lifted , possibly with you will go with it ! Better to follow advise and evacuate when advised.Providing the home is intact and no rising water , then its back to the primitave days without electricity.Old time homes were designed to breath , and higher ceilings to relieve heat and moisture new homes don't .Older homes were designed stronger, and flexed with high winds and new ones DON'T.Old homes had lots of alternatives for lights and cooking , new ones are mostly electric.Old ways of refridgerating were mostly pickeling jars dehydrated jerky meats,salt cured to avoid mold / bacteria , and cool cellars underground.Milk was delivered daily fresh , and eggs were organic yard chickens everything didn't require a fridge back then.So if you live in a old time farm house , with old time ways,and survived through these monster storms before ; shure stay home , you will probably do just fine.Just keep in mind , the newer homes around you may become flying torpedos.
