It looks to me as if that part of the west coast can expect a pretty high storm surge, at the very least, and if I was on the west coast, I would be evacuating for sure, particularly because of the danger of flooding. But then, I come from a pretty quiet part of the world for weather - not used to this kind of thing. If I was anywhere in Florida, I'd be nervous. I think your dad should evacuate, Joe. I hope your brother can talk him into it.
