Well, it's always a judgement call, but it's not *that* hard. I will move
mine if Hurricane Earl, for example is forecast to hit anywhere on the
central Gulf Coast within two days. If I'd been parking my airplane just
about anywhere on the west coast of Florida last week, I'd have flown it out
Wednesday.

It takes a direct hit from an extremely strong storm to do the kind of
damage seen in those pictures. Hurricane Danny came right up Mobile Bay a
few years ago and paused with its center less than ten miles from BFM.

No aircraft were seriously damaged on the airport, even though some were
left tied down outside.
