Possible cat 4 to hit my area Thurs.

[Gawdzilla Sama]

Get yerself a lock box and put all important papers in it. Put it with your Run Away Kit. 'Cause the storms ain't gonna get better  in the future.

This was the first one I have ever evacuated from. I suffer from anxiety and didn't get much sleep Monday night, so Tuesday morning I couldn't decide to go south or inland, kept driving around went back to my house a couple times, and finally made a decision to go inland, but by that time I was so scared of getting stuck on the highway I forgot.

Hopefully I'll get lucky and my windows wont break. Our entire development is surrounded by pine trees, I am two streets in and have no trees on my lot so even if the pine trees behind me fall they are not close enough to hit my house. 

But I am going to plan better in the future.

The "oh shit!" tizzies are exactly why you have your kit done in advance. You KNOW there are more of these coming down the pike, and some of them have your name on them. So be smarter than a Tar Heel and prep to bug out efficiently.

All hail the government policy.
