You can't fix stupid.

Maybe I got you mixed up with someone else. I could have sworn that you said you evacuated early during a previous storm.

Early would be 3-4 before forecasted landfall... Not 7-10 days and without a forecasted landfall. Use reason.

Yea, 3-4 days if you live in a congested area of 6 1/2 MM people and the interstates are all clogged all the time already. I don't know where Kap lives or that area, but if we ever had to flee a storm or flood waters we could do so with a couple hours notice.

Trolls just gotta troll. (not you, of course)

I'm in the northern Midlands so if we have to evacuate because of a hurricane they'll need to create a new category beyond a 5.

We aren't even particularly flood prone.....there's one or two areas that will flood along major streams and the river but overall we don't flood. In 2015 it was just the fire hose effect that got us after heavy rains in the Upstate earlier in the week. Even then we had no problems here where I live. My property adjoins a flood plain but with my corner marker sitting 15' above the creek run we didn't even have any trouble here in 2015.

Similar here, We have a nice little feeder stream in the back yard you can hear gurgle along some evenings, then drains into the James River which our development fronts. But, we also live in the first coal country in the US, so it's kind of hilly. If we had a major flash flood (like something insanely crazy, glacier melt or something) we could be at about 350 ft just by driving to the next adjoining development.
