I have been thinking the same thing about putting an ax in the attic and leaving it there.
I have family living on the Gulf Coast, just a few miles up the coast on the flood plain. It wouldn't be a bad idea to place a small kit in the attic . This might even include a gallon of water, an ax, and I'm not sure what else.
I know it is absurd to stay behind when a killer storm is approaching, but there are also times when storms don't track exactly as predicted and people have little time to make good decisions.
