The greatest danger in a hurricane is not wind, but flooding. Most of the people who die in hurricanes drown. By going to your basement you increase your risk of drowning.
Generally, a basement can be a safe area during a hurricane because it is underground and provides good protection from high winds. However, flooding can be a concern in some areas, so it's important to ensure your basement is properly waterproofed and have an evacuation plan in case of flooding.
During a hurricane you should not go to a basement, even if you can easily get to one. The greatest danger in a hurricane is flooding, and going underground increases your chances of drowning, The best place to be is in a bathroom or closet away from windows. If you have a second floor in your house you should be prepared to go to the second floor if water enters your home.
You should not go underground in a hurricane. Going underground increases you risk of drowning. During a hurricane you should be on the second floor of a sturdy structure.

Better watch out there is going to be hunkering going on later
They track it during and before to see where it is and tell how strong it is and they tell you when it's done
I believe this advice was originally given as for tornadoes. However, in both cases it is extremely inaccurate. Your house is not going to explode from a massive pressure change if you seal all windows and then one were to break. Instead, damage can be prevented by closing all windows since the windows should hold against lower strength hurricanes/tornadoes. If it's a strong tornado/hurricane, you shouldn't be inside your house. If you can't be away or in a basement, a bathroom with no windows in the center of the house is your best bet.
