Traveling w/ Piggies during Hurricane Gustav
Hey all-
We are going to go ahead and leave in a little bit since Gustav is projected to hit us. Sad part is it's already a category 3 and thats what Rita was when it hit us and destroyed A LOT. Hopefully it calms down and stops brewing. I have the pigs just about ready and we have a tad bit left to do and we will be heading out the door to Jons brothers deer lease. It is about an hour outside of San Antonio. It is a house so I'm thankful for that. When Rita hit, we weren't able to come back for 3 weeks so hopefully it is not that long :'(
Keep us in your prayers and thoughts.
Love,
Lyndsay - Dr. Pepper - Rootbeer

Ditto, Kermie, RayFay, and rshevin about being freaked out and feeling the need to put together the stay/go box. And I don't live in a hurricane, fire, or even tornado-prone area. We just get the occasional blizzard or ice storm. Which is why I wanted a house with a fireplace, so we could have a back-up heating/cooking source.
I picked up a folder from the Red Cross last year at some health fair. It's supposed to be your household checklist and survival kit planning tool. Haven't opened the folder since I brought it home. I really should do that soon.
Stay safe, LAndrews! Check in and let us know how you're doing when you get a chance.

Kermie, it is always good to be prepared. I think the last time NJ got a Hurricaine was Hurricaine Gloria. I think it was about 1986. WOW. I must be getting old because that seems like ages ago to me now. Anyway, hurricaines usually die out before they get to NJ. But, it always helps to have a plan.
I had an "earthquake kit" in my car when I lived in California. (actually, I believe the blankets and water are still in the my car)
I think the only bad weather we have here in IL is tornados. You really can't plan for those. I seem to always be at work when the sirens go off. There is nothing I can do about the piggies when I am at work and they are at home. Except pray. Although, I do have some large containers which I can scoop the piggies up and evacuate to the basement if need be.
