Advice for Tampa prep and going to Orlando is good. Logically, Orlando will not have nearly the same impact as coastal areas because there is no storm surge in Orlando. Maybe power outage which can also lead to cell service being down. In general, get away from the coast when a storm is coming and Orlando is a good spot.

Also, kscarrol made some good suggestions and to those I would add have cash on hand, keep portable devices charged and have some water, food and snacks (and liquor if so inclined) on hand in Orlando. Before leaving get anything important out of storage on lower level and either bring it or move it to upper level. Tell him to make sure he calls or texts you as soon as he can once the storm passes. (Don’t panic if you can’t reach him during or right after storm.)
