[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We lived in Houston during the Rita evacuation. It changed my mind a lot about the realities of getting out of a major metro area by car (or dirt bike). Not likely to happen. Add in anybody who is medically fragile to your group and the sh** can hit the fan really quick. We are now shelter in place people.

DMV we're most likely to get hit by some sort of dirty bomb (so very localized and no notice). Shelter in place would work for this kind of scenario. Obviously if we got hit by some sort of ICBM that is a different matter, but, there will not be enough notice to "evacuate." Your outcome will depend on where you are relative to the blast zone. I'm hoping it is a big blast to take me out quick, rather than lingering illness for 30 days.[/quote]

I was going to say something like this, as a journalist who covered hurricane Katrina. We knew power would be down so my editors sent me with wads of cash. But all money became meaningless. Nothing to buy. No gas to get out.[/quote]
