>Move your vehicles to higher ground.

In Miami that basically means an above ground parking structure I'd think.

You're only in the gale stages. Expect as much as 20 feet higher.

What type of structure?  Condo? If so, what floor? Free-standing house?

About 70% of property damage is initiated by blowing outdoor articles --patio furniture, picnic tables, signs, etc.  You can't do much about your neighbors (though I have, on occassion)  but get your stuff inside or on a lee wall, if possible. Lash down what you can. 

10th floor in a 16 floor building, in the first high rise down here, build in late 50s, back when they overbuilt things. It's an L shaped concrete building, we live in the inside corner. It was also xrayed in the last 2years and had some major restoration dome to bring every up to speed.

I have one ocean facing side, with hurricane shutters on the inside of the railing, so my balcony is empty but protected.  Then we have 18' of hurricane glass doors, 5' behind that.

On the West side, I have hurricane windows (taped) in the bathroom and kitchen and hurricane glass door, that opens outward.

When the water recedes watch out for snakes. They'll be on anything that was sticking out of the water.

My sites say that you're going to miss the very worst of it, DB. It's coming ashore around Sebastian. This puts F Laud getting the weaker quadrants. In a northbound hurricane (in the northern hemisphere) the strongest quadrants will be on its east side, with the northeast one being the strongest. Still a strong storm, though, no matter what side you're on.

Looking like it will be about 30 miles offshore here in Jacksonville. A bit too close for comfort. I was looking yesterday and all hotels in about a 250 mile radius anywhere West of here are booked up. 450,000 people evacuated in the area.
