Good. First thing out humans, then pets and any livestock possible, then the family photo albums. Everything else is replaceable.
Oh, that non-flood? 23+ feet.
Wow, that covers houses. I’ve only had to evacuate once in my life, from a fire and was never so terrified in my life.
I had loaded up my truck and trailer, put my 5yr old in the front seat with his dog, cat in a carrier in the bed, my mink coat (lol now thinking about it), my important papers and paintings, two horses in the trailer.
I waited until the last minute when the Sheriff’s Department said you have to go now and drove out with fire on both sides of the road. Hubby stayed behind to fight fire.
That was when I was young and stupid and bullet proof. Now I consider leaving the better part of valor. The sooner the better.
If I were in the position of my friend I would have loaded up and driven over to spend the afternoon drinking coffee. He still thinks he’s bulletproof. His wife is in town working or I imagine they would be here.
