Well I have ridden out my share of huricanes both in Hawaii and in Florida, and it is a pretty scary thing to go through, but if you are inland far enough the damage is realitively small. I road out Huricane Eva in Hawaii in the early 80's and it destroyed Kuaii. The islands didn't even slow it down with winds over 135mph, and I was in the US Navy then. They called me out in the middle of the storm, because a security fence had blown down that was protecting a top security area. On my way in to work I got to see garages and roofs blowing by as I was driving down Makakilo Drive. The are facinating for sure, but extremely dangerous. A few years ago I was part of the ride out team and Universal Studios in Orlando when two huricanes crossed paths directly over Orlando. What a trip that was.

We truly wish anyone on the path of Ike a safe experience. Good luck guys, and God bless.
