The problem occurs at the time that the safe place becomes destroyed or a damaged house. Your friend my be one that needs to be taken out of the area if the hurricane is coming your way. Now she becomes a liability for you and the rescue and emergency teams.
What are you talking about?? Taken out of the area because she doesn't like to be cooped up??

She is not a cripple...she is a normal person...
Based on the info she gets claustrophobic?
Claustrophobia is an anxiety disorder that involves the fear of enclosed or confined spaces. Claustrophobes may suffer from panic attacks, or fear of having a panic attack, in situations such as being in elevators, trains, boxes or aircrafts.
Conversely, people who are prone to having panic attacks will often develop claustrophobia. If a panic attack occurs while they are in a confined space, then the claustrophobe fears not being able to escape the situation.
We had a person in our evacuation team during hurricane Andrew that had the same condition and we had a bit more to do during a panic attack.... Real situation that made us update the requirements for our military evacuation team....
I for one am extremely happy to see this storm. Orlando is in a massive drought just like most of Florida. I live on a lake and it's practically a marsh right now. I want it to rain as much as it can so we can get back to looking like the city beautiful again.
We are also getting a bit of rain here in Tennessee which is badly needed. The smoke from the fires has been trapped in the valley.
Regarding Katrina, she actually popped off the coast of Africa, looked pretty healthy and then disappeared. I mean completely gone. She then reformed around the south of the Bahamas or somewhere like that.
Anyway, there is an incredible storm in west Africa right now. Fortunately, the sea surface temperature is nothing like it is in August or September. Still, I'll be watching it.
An Air Force Reconnaissance Plane Checked The System In The Gulf Of
Mexico And Found That The Pressure Has Dropped To 1000 Mb With
Flight-level Winds Of 52 Knots. Initially...the System Appeared To
Be A Subtropical Storm. However...deep Convection Has Developed
Near The Center During The Past Hour And The Strongest Winds Are
Located Near The Center...supporting A Tropical Classification.
Barry Could Retain Some Non-tropical Characteristics. The Cyclone
Is Embedded Within A Strong Southwesterly Shear And Is Heading
Toward Cooler Waters. Therefore...no Significant Strengthening Is
Indicated Before It Reaches The Coast. Barry Should Become
Extratropical Between 24 And 36 Hours.
Barry Is Moving Toward The North Or 010 Degrees At 10 Knots And
Because The Cyclone Is Already Embedded Within The Southwesterly
Flow Ahead Of A Mid-level Trough Over The Western Gulf Of
Mexico...it Should Gradually Turn More To The North-northeast With
An Increase In Forward Speed. This Is The Solution Provided By Most
Of The Global Models Including The Extratropical Transition
Tropical Storm Warnings And Watches Have Been Issued For Portion Of
The Florida West Coast And Panhandle.

She doesn't suffer from panic attacks...you get wound up easily...she just doesn't like to be inside for so long...thats all. Her desk and computer are in her garage.. that is the extent of her special needs.
If someone needs to be evacuated, she would be in there helping...
As far as a safe place, all these homes were built after hurricane Andrew and were not effected at all by the hurricanes of 2004.
Rico, you sound like an alarmest...always expecting the worse, are you sure your not the one with anxiety??
It has been raining here since about mid afternoon -- just a nice, slow, soft and actually cool rain. So far it's one of those soakers that we need so desperately.
Oh, please, the OP must be new to FLA. If we freaked out at every tropical storm in the waters, we would never live here.
It's tax-free time in FLA, so get yer hurricane supplies and stop freaking out.
