It looks like a deluge of rain, and that's definitely bad, but a strong hurricane ripping a piece off your roof and then inches of rain pouring into the hole is even worse, so if I were forced to choose between the two I'd lean towards the rain. That's what happened to the apartment building I lived in back during Florence. A chunk of roof got snatched off a corner on the opposite end of my building and then rain dumped inside for days, destroyed that apartment as well as the one underneath. The uncertainty here has got me antsy. I'd consider rolling out of town for a couple of days when it gets closer, but I don't even know where I'd go since there's no telling where it will eventually end up, could just be driving straight into it.
