So, never being in a hurricane i don't know, but why were these people not in a basement or inside room? It seems rather dangerous to be sitting by a glass sliding door watching the whole thing happening. I know here in the midwest when a tornado comes through they tell you to get into a basement or an interior room of the house that has no windows. Would the same not be true for a hurricane?

Basement in South Florida = No Such Thing (we do not have basements in our homes down here, due to sandy soil and the water table being too high, you'd have a lake under your house).
