Based on every model out there from the weather folks, it says he should stand pat. He's not going to die in a hurricane. Just head west a bit if it gets bad and hunker under a tree. The REALLY scary bits are those tornadoes in the midwest/central areas. F that!
By the way, it was in Orlando back in the early 1990s that I heard my first ever "cannon-boom" thunderclaps. No rain, a bit of sun, but the lightning bolt nearby on the growing anvilhead cloud above us, and then the sound of cannons. Orlando is funky with T-Storms.
