Have you tried using the search tool on this forum?

Yep, I've used the search tool. And, there are a lot of posts on hurricanes. People talked about how to be prepared, but didn't say where they went. Just curious!

If you go too far inland - assuming you're near the water, you may have to deal with the tornado issues. I've rented an apartment on high ground as my hurricane plan and use it for storage the rest of the time. I found one in the same county which was important given that the police will not be out protecting your property in a cat 3+ situation. Drive time on surface streets is about 20 min. This way, once the storm has passed, I have no problem presenting my drivers license in order to gain access to my house and assess damage. There was a post about getting a flight out, but the 24 hours before a predicted hurricane hits can be way off base (re: Charley in 2004). So if you get a flight, don't wait until air traffic is not possible.

Everyone here is giving you good advice. Get prepared then don't worry about it.

If you live in an area that is not mandatory evacuation, and if it's built to the latest hurricane codes, you go nowhere. You put up your shutters and you hunker down. Your house will be built like a bunker. At worse, you may lose a few roofing tiles. After the hurricane is real the problem because you will most likely lose your power for a few days and you will melt. Buy new, no problem!
