and I think that if you don't have an emergency plan that includes evacuation, you're a fool (sorry Blast, I read your posts, I think you took an unnecessary risk and you were lucky).
Actually, I live in a part of town where the people in charged of Houston asked that we not evacuate. The evacuations of Hurricane Rita taught Houston that those along the coast need to "run from the water", but those inland need to "hide from th wind". "Run from the water/hide from the wind" is the actual name of Houston's hurricane plan. I'm 72 miles inland. If I should have bugged out then it means the other 4,000,000 people between me and the coast should have also left. We saw what happens when that is tried back in Rita.
So anyway, I understand your thoughts but I don't think you have all the information. Now, if a cat.4 hurricane was coming I'd have been on the road bugging out like a cat with it's tail on fire.
