I'd much rather trust the local stations here in central Florida with weather teams who have experienced these for decades, whose families and homes will be impacted by the storm. They tend to have the experience to give you a much more honest perspective on what could happen and what you should be prepared for.
I would not stay at my house. I would go to a Hotel, friends house, or shelter. I saw how fast the storm surge came with Helene. It’s devastating and not to be messed with.
like I already said, huge variation in forecasts. I have lived in WDW area for 8+ years and found Weather Channel has been pretty reliable during hurricanes.
They can indeed get a little burned out after too many days of coverage I'll admit. Especially with the tornado risk on the front right side of the forward motion of the storm.
Even though some get a little dramatic
Honestly tornado risk is unpredictable and the biggest concern for me with this storm.
That paired with the areas of LA it hit were below Sea Level.
my brother just told.me about this last night.I hope lt Dan makes it.
At first I was skeptical on why someone would stay in Tampa on a small house boat during the hurricane …but the dude is a disabled vet, with one leg, and that boat is literally all he has. So while I still think it would be smarter for him to move to an inland shelter, I also understand the panic that he might face about losing his boat.

My mother and her friend are near there too. Zone E for surge but this rain and wind could get ugly.
Wishing them the best
It's all those people that came in from other states who had no idea a hurricane was coming when they started driving 4 days ago.
