We live here in Beaufort which is about 45 min north of Savannah. If the hurricane hits north of us and we get the bottom band, lower than Catagory 3. I’m staying. If Hanna hits us south and we get the eastern-north band, I am leaving even if it is a catagory two. I am pretty sure it will swing upward though. They usually do.
