I had a friend that could not understand why I didn't visit Galveston in 2008, when I visited San Antonio then. I guess he thought that come hell or high water (both, in this case), that I would get my looky-look at the ocean. I didn't, not because of the mess Galveston was in at the time, but because I didn't want to get anyone mad. Back in 1999, southwestern Ohio had a pretty bad tornado that we rode through in our bedroom with just a wall and a mattress for protection. In nearby Blue Ash, there was severe damage where the tornado touched down, and lines of cars gawking at the damage.
In 2008, Hurricane Ike did some wind damage in my part of Ohio, and we were without power for almost three days, so I know a little about hurricanes. I hope Georgia doesn't get one.

And there's no patience for looky-loos, either. Before Hurricane Charly, the Orange County sheriff issued this warning: "If you come out to look around during the storm, you better bring your toothbrush and teddy bear because we are going to sling your butt in jail." You've got to love southern lawmen!
