Oh my--they aren't planning to evacuate? Lord have mercy.
I'm stunned.
Last year, they drove 18 hours to come up here for refuge (September hurricane). I called them my hurricane refugees.
When I got word that it increased so rapidly last night, my husband and I had thought they were on their way and we'd be hearing from them.
Well, as of 10 or so EST this morning, they hadn't yet and they were wondering about mandatory evacuation. I flipped my lid. They told us they are leaving. Like others, they thought that it would turn.
If necessary, we can max out the credit cards to get them up here.
I'm ballistic that they waited so long. It is so out of character.
