Thanks, just called her and told her if she is afraid, to call the sheriff to come take her to shelter. She is 50/50 after I told her it was coming in at 130 mph. Hopefully she will give in and go. She is more concerned with keeping her son in a familiar environment. I told her not to wait til the last minute to decide to leave. She has her mattress and dresser up against her bedroom window and that will be there safe room. She has a bed in the closet for her son to sleep in and the rest will sleep on mattresses on the floor. Seems like she has settled herself in for the long ride. Smh...
She is in our prayers
She sounds like she has a plan and options.
Once she calls and says my kids need to go to shelter then someone is coming .
Fingers crossed it skims by the coast .
VERY concerned about her sons strong reaction and trauma DURING the storm more so than the impact a safe, unfamiliar place would have. But maybe that is something maturity brings. An understanding of regretful decisions that turned out a million times worse than I thought they would. Her reaction is one thing. Her autistic child who is already very concerned is another. I will pray for them.
When the storm hits the apartment will no longer seem like a familiar environment to him. The noise from the storm and the darkness from the lack of power can make even a familiar place spooky.
I cannot remember any brick apartment buildings in PSL. Brick veneer over block or wood frame yes. If you know the apartment building name I can probably tell you when it was built and whether it is in a flood zone.
