as a south florida boy my whole life, i've seen my fair share of hurricanes.
realistically, be cautious - but don't freak out, it's not going to be as bad as you think. as for which room is safest, it's the bathroom.
be prepared, just in case. seriously though, as a cat 2...it's most likely going to be like a very nasty thunderstorm, nothing more. outages and flooding will probably happen, but it's not gonna be anything severe. just stock up on beer and have a good time during it.
