[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The nearby hotels for people to evacuate to fill up quickly.  The electric companies preposition employees and equipment before the storm even gets there, in order to be able to restore electricity to people as quickly as possible. The employees fill up the hotels, plus the media.

So that leaves shelters for the local people to evacuate to.  I think if you go to a shelter you have to bring your own bedding.  Right?  You have to bring your own air mattresses to sleep on, and pillows and blankets.  And towels.  And food and water and soap and shampoo and clothing.  And if you evacuate with your pets, then you of course have to bring food and dishes for your pets as well.  And a leash and doggy poop bags, kitty litter, etc.

Plus before you go to the shelter, you need to get your home ready for the storm. Put the patio furniture and trash cans and barbeque grill in the house or garage.  It would be nice to board up windows before you leave your home but there often is not time -- or plywood available -- for that.

Doing all that is a lot of work for a single mom with four kids, one of them a newborn. [/quote]

Good thing she probably just stayed home and was fine.[/quote]
