If you knew a hurricane was coming, would you still go to WDW? - Page 4

Kippage · 04-12-2005

I'd have to ask. I've lived in FL my whole life and have been through numerous hurricanes. We only evacuate if it gets above a Category 3 (anything below is somewhat harmless and just a heavy rainstorm), and even then it's iffy. BF and I both work in the Law Enforcement field. Usually if a hurricane is coming our way, all vacation and leave is taken away and we're all put on mandatory duty.
But when I was a kid, we'd evacuate towards Jax - never understood that since you gotta drive back through it to go home!

I wouldn't want to take the chances of my kids or us being hurt.

DW is a weater nut. That would be a reason to plan a trip to Disney. Just kidding. We have been through 6 huricanes (in different cities) and several tropical storms. CATEGORY I or CAT II aren't that bad. CAT III we boarded up the house. CAT IV, look out shelter here we come.

I voted no... but I wish I could change my vote, cause I just realized something... It would be better to be boarded up and boreded down in a Disney resort, safe and sound, than really bored at home and have the fear that, at any time, a tornado might rip through your house just like that...

As luck would have it, our trip was delayed last year because of all the hurricances. We arrived just after the last one blew through and hope another would not stir. To our amazement, Disney World was spotless! As you walked through, there was no evidence at all that anything had happened there, let alone several hurricane!

Since we live 86 miles away, might as well go and batten down the hatches at OKW! Of course, we would not travel during the storm. Don't want to be on the road during a possible hurricane spawned tornado!
