I lived through Hugo and it taught me a lot at a very young ago. I evacuated with Floyd and when it turned to go to NC instead of where it was going I was beyond ticked. 14 hours on a greyhound bus that was overbooked, with a child in cloth diapers who nurses. No TP, no food, no water, no stops, no smoke breaks. I was beyond over it and swore I would never do it again. Never leave again. Then my family in Louisiana got wiped out in Katrina, my grandmother passed after the second evacuation from Rita, and every year the storms seem to be getting stronger and faster and deadlier. I have kinda, sorta changed my mind on the leaving part, it’s an option that is back on the table for sure. We are 43 feet above sea level so flooding isn’t a major concern, getting blown off the face of the earth or being crushed under huge trees however is.
