Serious question: why don't you fly out? I just checked on Google Flights and there are seats out of Miami today for <$200. Even adding ground transportation on each end it seems to me you could get out of Dodge for <1k including temporary housing at the end. You're a software engineer, surely you can afford that?

[UPDATE:] Just saw this:

Ah. Where is "here"? Miami is not the only major airport in Florida. Orlando->Atlanta and Tampa->JFK are both available for $114.

Looks like your area is now in a "mandatory" evacuation zone. Are you still staying put?

Glad to hear it. When you're fully recovered let's chat about security some time.
