Well it's not over. That said, what do Big City Freepers recommend??? 1) Bug out and head for high ground and get stuck in traffic 2) Get cases of water/chlorine tablets and pull that inflatable fishing boat out of storage 3) something else?

Should have prepared... too late now.
Move furniture to second floor if possible. Get vehicles to highest ground possible.
Leave ONE(1) man behind in each house. Armed. If it’s gets really dangerous they can evacuate to a safe building. New Orleans should have done it with the Superdome.
OH...... I’m not going to evacuate until a politician
tells me to. So there !
You have to ask yourself:
1-Where would you go?
2-How would you get there?
3-Can you transport enough stuff to survive the trip?
Otherwise, stay in place and make the most of it.
Well, there is a pretty straightforward way to determine:
1) Local Govt: Suggest Evacuation
2) Media: If President is (R) blame President
1) Local Govt: Suggest Hunkering Down
2) Media: If President is (R) blame President
See? That makes things so much easier!
Way too late now.
Your decision has been made.
the Superdome...I thought of that when they mentioned yesterday they were using the local convention center for a shelter ...
at the Superdome in New Orleans women were raped people beaten and what little they had was stolen...
the place was left one gigantic toilet and landfill...
I see from your FR homepage you’re in Canada so I’d have to rule out my suggestion of evacuating to Canada. You’re probably safe (for awhile.)
I meant with respect to future natural disasters?
When the storm is three days out, what is your best option(s)?
When in doubt, get out
Ask anyone in TX that evacuated during Hurricane Rita if they would ever do it again. Dozens more people died in the evacuation than in the storm, including a bus load of nursing home patients from Houston heading to Dallas in a Mexican bus that caught fire, killing them.
You might as well ask Freepers who you should vote for in the 2016 Republican primary in your state. LOL.
Do you have food and water for a week?
Do you have a means of cooking it?
Do you have any danger of losing your life or home to the flood waters?
If you have a way out and suspect your residence is going to be flooded, pack up your important documents, smaller valuables, etc., and go. Do not leave your pets behind. This is assuming you have enough fuel in your vehicle(s) to make the trip, and have someplace to go that is outside of the risk of flooding.
Chlorine tablets? Stick a bucket outside, and you’ll have all the pristine water you could want. People in Houston (I’m one) know where the really bad flood prone areas are, and those living there should have gotten out. It’s a little late now, except as evacuation. The media, of course, hype the problem. Most of the area is just soggy, which doesn’t create footage for the nightly fake news. There’s no wind damage to speak of, just a big rainstorm. As for the vast, vast majority of us who are just inconvenienced, the “disaster” is nothing serious.
Mayor Dem
Judge emmett must be republican since Bush appointed him for something
.they both own this. They both downplayed it Thursday and friday
It all depends on the situation ... the type of event, your job responsibilities, number and age of family members, etc.
Here in New Jersey we've had a few horrendous storms in the last ten years that have forced people to think seriously about how to deal with major natural disasters. If I was living down in Houston now, I would have packed all my camping gear and other assorted valuables into my truck and spent a week in a random campground 400-500 miles away.
