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.

Outer bands are just starting to hit the area my house is at. Really hoping it breaks up a bit before the eye hits land.

Shouldn't be too tough for a single man.  Put $500 bucks in an envelope and never let your gas tank go down below 1/2 full.  Done.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom.

As of 11pm EST Florence has been downgraded to a cat 1.

Unfortunately it is projected to remain such until it reaches SC, which means it will go through my county. But they projected a cat 2 also doing that. My bet is as soon as the eye wall hits land it will get downgraded to a tropical storm.

5am, I was wrong, the path is going to have it a Cat 1 all the way through my county, and wont become a tropical storm until it gets to SC, which is directly below my county. It is basically going to sit over everything for almost 24 hours. Man I hope I have a house left.

Last year this time, I survived Irma (cat 2) as she passed by me.
