Many buildings in Miami are engineered to withstand cat 5 hurricanes after what Andrew did there. Newer buildings have glass that is an inch thick and can withstand a 2 x 4 flung straight at it at 150mph. If I lived in a building like that I'd be staying put too.

F all that sitting on the damn freeways for hours on end. Plus what if you don't have anywhere to go? Hotels are booked. Bring your own cot to the public shelter.
A little discomfort won't kill you.
A cat 5 hurricane can.

In 2005 over 100 people died on the highways when trying to flee Rita in Houston. For that reason they didn't call for a mandatory evacuation there with Harvey approaching and that was the right decision.
People are capable of making decisions for themselves and you have to be there to consider all the factors involved. If you're out of the flood surge area you'll make it ok.

problem is, if you've waited this long, fuel will be an issue, probably gone from about Jupiter on down, and once you get north of there there's a whole lot of nothing for a long time, and getting fuel anywhere will be sketchy
