I have a full tank of gas, some cash, emergency kit, blankets, and plenty of canned food and water all packed in my car.
I have to admit I am little nervous about this storm mainly because i live alone. Most of my family is in Nashville Tennessee. |
Very good! GOOD FOR YOU!!! You have every reason to be Nervous...if they tell you to go, smart lady, you are ready and willing to go! So many people think they can ride it out, ..."been through dozens of 'em, house never blew over, I 'aint leavin', balh, blah, blah"....then in the middle of the storm, when the water is 15 feet deep AND RAPIDLY RISING, the house is coming apart at the seams, the furniture and treasures and Yorkies have all washed away, and there is nothing left between them and the dark swirling, water, they start yelling for help! And then get pitzed off when no help can get to them.....and then they wash away......that happened on Boliver many times during Ike....I am certain it happened many, MANY times during Katrina....when they tell you to EVACUATE, they do that as a last resort...do as your are told to do, AND SURVIVE!!! For all of you sitting there waiting for the storm to engulf you, just be ready and willing to load up and leave....STORM SURGE AND RISING FLOOD WATER IS NOT YOUR FRIEND!!!
