Depends on how you interpret what is said. And, how much you are willing to gamble. Who's to say???

Here in the Houston area, the local news was predicting tons of wind, rain, flooding, and recommended evacuation. A lot of the population took them up on it, and left town. Can't say as I blame them, but we got very little wind or rain. The flip side is, not leaving and the storm hits farther west up the Texas coast and takes out Galveston and the Houston area.

To answer your question: I, personally, think they over dramatize it, but as your Momma taught you - it's better to be safe than sorry.
