About a half mile north of Port St. Lucie Blvd on South West Starflower Ave.
She's fine right now but if the phones are out after the storm I wont have anyway to get ahold of her or check in.
This is just a precaution so to speak. She's only a half mile from the Police Dept but I imagine their going to but up to eyeballs after the storm blows through.
Thanks

A couple of things from a 25 Year PSL Florida resident (Close to current intersection of Cross town parkway and Turnpike).
1. Evacuation is generally not an option. The only way to really evacuate is up, and that is usually in the path of the storm.
2. The only people that need to evacuate are those with a medical condition that is fatal if power is lost (evacuate to a hospital / medical shelter), those that are in trailer parks or manufactured homes (very poor wind resistance), and those that are in storm surge areas (barrier islands).
3. Those that do evacuate generally travel less than 20 mi, mostly to not be alone.
4. People are more likely to die during the evacuation than they are during the storm (let that one sink in a little bit).
5. The house that your aunt lives in has either been through at least 2 category 2+ hurricanes undamaged, or has been damaged and rebuilt / repaired to more stringent building codes in place after Hurricane Andrew.
6. Your Aunt will be fine, and if I were there. I would stay as well.
