Thanks Richard!
I am registered but having problems logging in -- sorry about that.
Fortunately, I have all my supplies but am more worried about evac this time.
I do realise its all an educated guess at this point but was just wondering when things would get a little more definite.
Thanks to all on this boad as well!


Then you are way ahead of the game. Evacuating 4 times (mobile home) last year tried my stamina and it is not a decision made lightly. You have a lot of things to consider and you should play some 'what if' games now and plan some likely scenereos. Stuff like CAT 1, direct hit, or Major Direct hit or probable TS winds only, Live on the beach or well inland, structure type and strength and how it fared in previous storms, flood prone or high ground. Expected rainfall...you know, the stuff you need to make decisions. Then, on Saturday, or whenever, you concentrate on your 'triggers' for the various scenereos and act accordingly. Having made the decisions when you had cool head and time to think will be a real asset. Fear and worry induce mistakes that could prove costly, so make the plans early, sit back and keep informed.

Good luck,
Richard
