The only significant storm I've been here for was Dean, and I didn't evacuate when I discovered that evacuation wasn't mandatory and wouldn't be enforced by the BDF. Since I didn't want my house burgled I stayed in it. Many other people did the same thing for the same reason.

A friend just up the road had a wind gauge, and at the height of Dean it recorded 140mph. Presumably just a single gust.
