NO NO NO
There are a lot of tourists who got trapped in town, and are staying in high-rise hotels downtown. They've interviewed them via the phone all day on TV. They really don't have anything to do (as far as preparations, boarding up, etc.), and a few hours left before weather conditions really start to go downhill.
(Unfortunately for them, there have been reports that with Cat 5 winds, the integrity of the buildings they're staying in can't be guaranteed, so in the end, you may be right.)
