I certainly pray that you will be safe, but I wouldn't do what you're doing. I would evacuate to the nearest staging area and sign up with either a formal or informal rescue group to go back in as soon as possible.
If your VFD doesn't have a safe shelter that you can also go to, then you are just risking the possibility of needing rescue yourself.
I do know how small communities work; I am just not as optimistic as you are. I hope to hear how it works out for you - preferably on Mon., when you tell us how it all worked out splendidly.

"and i didnt need no stinking fed gov official to tell me to get the stuff!!
You evil conservative, you. Best wishes to you and yours and stay safe! Please check back in asap.
Who said that his VFD doesn't have a safe shelter? There you go, AssYouming again. From what I've read, this VFD is in need of help in the aftermath of Rita.

Your sarcasm has not gone unnoticed, nor will it be forgotten.
Oh I get it now. Cancel my previous post to you.
Thanks for your prayers; they are appreciated, even if it was laced with sarcasm.
Your prayers may be better spent on the people who tried to evacuate and are now stranded on I-10. I live in a home that is 100% brick and is not in an area prone to flooding. I have boarded up all the windows and have plenty of food and water etc.
Anyone with any intelligence considers all the options before making a decision. I feel I made the right choice and have not heard of any staging areas, so, we the people in this small community, come together and do whatever we can to help our fellow human beings. If you have info on staging areas be they formal or informal please advise as I have never heard of them. Or are they just something you invented to support your posts?
I live 30 miles west of Houston where is the closet "staging area" where I can go and sign up?
