People get too hung up on following the path of the eye of the storm, when the storm is a not a point but blob hundred miles across. They think "gee, the eye will miss us by 30 miles. We'll be OK".
No, genius, you'll get 100% the rain that the people 30 miles away will get, 100% of the storm surge, and yes maybe 50% of the maximum wind gusts. Tell us when you call for help with the water up to your necks how "It ain't so bad, the wind is hardly blowing!". If you are on a river / estuary, you are not in a good place. Somehow people can't grasp that. It ain't just a windstorm, morons.
