Default Tropical weather?

I live along coastal South Carolina, so we have to plan for hurricanes. Those of you who live in these areas, what is your plan for your horses?

For my other animals, we just crate them and stick them in the car. But, with our horse, if we load them up and evacuate.. where do we go? Do we only evacuate for a major hurricane? What about a tropical storm?

Do horses get anxious with bad weather? If the barn is very sturdy, will they be OK there as long as it is a minimal storm?

We'll need to have a plan, but I am not sure what that plan needs to be. How long can a horse stay in a trailer? Evacuations can last 12+ hours sometimes. That seems like a very long time for a horse to be in a trailer.
