I hadn't ever really considered the fact that the police would actually order me to evacuate. All this volunteering these years in EM, and knowing my limits, I figured I'd either be left alone voluntarily to get other people, or I'd be more than willing to leave.

The other thing I hadn't really considered having to prepare for was trying to convince a cop that I have enough experience and education to know my limits, I'm fine, save other people that don't have a clue, and yes, I do understand where you're coming from, and yes, I do understand the big picture.

Guess I'll have to make a much more portable vehicle kit!
