Exaggeration? Do you live in some kind of special needs community?
I've seen tall trees with deep roots ripped out far inland, by storms much weaker than this one. Telephone poles toppled, houses and city blocks utterly decimated, cars flipped.
That's inland, there's a good chance your building will survive, there's also a very real chance you'll all die.
There's little doubt in my mind OP will survive, but there is no doubt riding out that hurricane if you don't have to would really blow

But either way, good luck my mens.

No stormproof windows or shutter of any kind. A lot of people in the complex are staying, they think it's an exaggeration. I'm gonna wait a day and see if the storm looks any worse but I think i'm gonna take my chances here

Even if not, I wouldn't risk my life over a few hundred dollars in hotel fees. Take whats important to you, and get to a safe place until the storm is over.
Of course they do. They have a cot in a high school gym somewhere inland with his name on it. He just doesn't want to do that.

LOL...yeah...I saw lots of aggression over at the Home Depot. Everyone has lost their damn minds. 
For all the fights that happen before the storm, there's a lot of good that goes on afterwards. We help each other out. The key is to stock up on basic supplies in June like water, liquor, xanax, and Chef Boyardee to avoid the crazies at the store.

Agreed, it helps a lot to stay stocked. Just like buying your winter gear in the summer. That's one disadvantage to being a drifter.

The storm is projected to drop from C4 to C1-2 by the time it hits him, but being on an island without real preparation in 100mph winds is dangerous. He'll probably be fine but its a roll of the dice.
Personally I enjoy the big storms, the cane will still be C4 when it hits out here, things are going to be crazy, but there's a few dozen miles of insulation so its not as dangerous.

Going to Athens, GA at 3 today. I really did want to sit this out and see what happens but it's starting to look like a Category 4 and I live next to a marina. I wanted to take pictures of the boats floating my driveway haha.

This will be the strongest hurricane to hit the central coast of Florida since 1850. Probably going to be the most expensive natural disaster ever.

It's definitely starting to kick up here. I think the 11 am advisory said to expect tropical storm conditions within the next few hours.

Top wind speed out here is estimated at around 54mph, basically only catching the border of the storm
Going to take a nap, the peaks supposed to be around 8-10pm out here

Here's a tip I learned working for a cell tower company for nearly a decade:
In case of a major storm or something, DO NOT CALL YOUR LOVED ONES TO SEE IF THEY'RE OKAY. Send a text message. The tower will not stop trying to send the message until it's been delivered. If you call, you will not get through because everyone is calling and emergency services are also tying up the lines.
