I'm a little late to this thread but I have 2 things to offer...
1. Traffic cameras in South Florida don't look real bad this morning. It may be better to leave today than it was yesterday. My uncle stayed in Biloxi during Katrina (people forget MS got pounded as well) and told me later he would never do so again. He had his mom and wife and said he paced for hours. His words "Never will I stay and try to ride one out again!"
2. I know you said you took your cards to a safety deposit box, but if you have anything else you need to protect, load it up in your dishwasher. Water won't get in and it should be bolted to your counter making it less likely to be damaged. Unless you take on water higher than your counters, stuff in there should be protected. To be safe, put stuff in a trash bag or baggies and then in the dishwasher.
Good luck and God Bless!!
