Hurricane coming: evacuate or stay and work?

[FroggyMama]

Since I can't do polls, I just wondered: Imagine you live in the area where a major hurricane is predicted to hit soon. Do you evacuate, or stay and work? I know this is NOT hypothetical for some of you right now with Gustav, and my prayers are with you all! But I just wondered what the general consensus would be.

Me: I run. I am NOT leaving my children in that kind of danger after seeing what happened with Katrina, and I don't care if they fire me. You?

Have you heard anything about Beauvior in the local news? I can't find anything on it. I hope they didn't flood again, they just reopened in August after rebuilding from Katrina.

Wish I knew how to send a PM, I got one.. but cannot find the reply button.

So..lieu of that:

Date: Monday, September 1, 2008, 9:06 PM Storm Report!

Beauvoir House OK For the Time Being!!!

3:00 PM CST Monday Sept. 1, 2008 (Biloxi, MS)

Security Chief Jay Peterson stayed on the grounds at Beauvoir the whole time the storm came in and watched the house and grounds. Report is that the Beauvoir House and all of the other buildings are ok.

There are around 6 to 9 trees down and several limbs.

Highway 90 in front of Beauvoir had water over it, but no water effecting Beauvoir. Again, the Beauvoir House and buildings are ok.

Please keep prayer for her. We are not out of the storm yet.
