Please , just pack up and get the show on the road! A cat 3 storm is nothing to sneeze at, and is extremely dangerous the closer to the coast you are. At the very least, you'll be without power, and this time of year you don't want to be without AC or refrigeration. I've lived about 17 miles north of the coast my whole life, and have been through several hurricanes. It can be terrifying going through the storm, and the aftermath is NOT fun, either!
