Most people get shit damamaged cause they either live in dumps, dont' prepare, or freak out. FL is above sea level (most of it).. so it's really just the wind that fucks things up. Board up your shit, tie down the patio furniture, and wait it out.. simple as that.

You don't "wait out" a Cat5. Cat5 is mandatory evacuation time, because few free-standing structures will survive without major damage. At Cat5, a hurricane is, essentially, a giant tornado many miles wide and will rip through a city like it wasn't even there.
If you live in a concrete bunker on high ground, kick back and enjoy the ride. If you live in a wood structure of any sort and are in the way of a cat 5, prepare to kiss your equity goodbye.
