Chas, not really. You have to go north to get to rolling hills. I haven't looked at a map (that would be interesting) but Gainesville is at a higher elevation, iiirc.
Much depends on whether you're next to the Gulf or another body of water. I'm not so I don't have to worry about storm surge.
It's raining moderate to almost heavy and the wind is now about 30 mph. I think this will be the worst of it here.

@Daniel As long as that lack of wind doesn’t mean you’re in the eye of the storm! Good luck.

Just checked with my friend who lives in Atlanta. She’s doing fine. Seven inches of rain in 24 hours; the worst was to the east of them.
@wtg My youngest son and his family live in an Atlanta suburb. He reports a lot of rain and wind with some flickering of the power, but no sustained outage.
On the other hand, my daughter in North Carolina is without power and has retreated to their camper to ride the storm out.

I'm fine. No damage.
In Pinellas and Pasco, people with no power, storm surge flooding, homes damaged or destroyed.
It's very random.
The only thing I can tell for sure is don't buy on the water because that is almost an invitation to a flood.
Thanks for asking.
