He lives 30 miles from the coast, but I tracked his posts today and he said "getting out of Dodge" -- but I'm not certain I believe him. I can't find my little phonebook or I'd call him or his daughter right now.
You know that my husband and I just 2 weeks ago had dinner with him and his family in Gulfport. The same Holdiay Inn where we stayed has now been evaucated and FNC said they're expecting the first 2 floors to be underwater. WHOA!
He's a smart guy and 30 miles inland is nothing in a storm like this. He'll be sure to be without power for a while but some folks on the ATRW threads have his phone number so if the phones are still working, we can contact him and not worry for too long.
What time is the storm expected in your area? Those painters had better get their quick tomorrow a.m. and get those ladders and scaffolding stuff down.
He's staying; he's lost power though.
On an earlier thread there was info about Toby.....he and his family were heading out for the more secure jail where his D works for the sheriff....something like 20-30 minutes from their housem which I understand from his posts is 30 miles inland.
