Why wouldnt you fly it somewhere where you know it would be safe?

Yep.

I'm on the end of the line. My buddy Filipo's 182 is tied down tight in
the next spot.

It's a major production to fly far enough to make a difference: you have
to arrange ground transportation, overnight accommodations, etc. For a
minimal storm like this one, it's not worth the bother.

The airplane has weathered a couple of similar sized storms with no
problems.

TS Arlene turned out to be nearly a non-event for Brookley Field.
Highest wind recorded on the METAR was 26 mph, and that was several
hours before the storm made landfall near Pensacola. A quick scan of
other stations in the storm area shows nothing much stronger.

So we kick off the season with a wimpy storm, but there's a long way to
go.
