I feel like the news and government response has been to very strongly err on the side of caution lately. The moment the path was updated to move to a direct hit of north Florida yesterday, grocery stores and gas stations were flooded with people preparing a week in advance. 10 or 15 years ago you'd hear a lot of "well a storm hasn't hit here in 100 years" in the region, but nobody fucks around like that anymore.
