It really depends on where they are. Yes, there will be some areas that will escape severe problems, but MSNBC has nothing to do with the seriousness of the situation and it is easy to be dismissive when ensconced in NH. There is always some exaggeration of the situation but if nothing happens in 4 days, I will be thankful and totally happy to "walk it back."
The National Hurricane Center does an excellent job of tracking these storms but really is dealing with risk and probability , not certainty. Unfortunately many people have little understanding of this. And the error always has to be on the side of safety.
Every tropical event is covered on TV with an interview of some moron who is "going to ride it out." And most of the time they are OK...but they are still selfish morons.
I evacuated my home for Hurricane Andrew and never returned as it was totaled.
