I'm surprised that so many here appeared to have been caught short and had to pack in literally 10 minutes. When I smelled the smoke Sunday I finished my workout and then went home to finish packing. We never got the evac call.


Thats sounds like good thinking on your part. The fire threat seems really scary to me. Seems like it could be a serious danger in a very short time period.

Here on the Gulf Coast you know when the hurricanes are coming and a general idea of the potential damage.

I am really impressed with the way you folks handled the situation and all pulled together. I havent seen anyone on TV blaming anyone else; or at least the citizen on the street.
