People will get hurt in the evacuation...
This is a little late.
Preservation of property, at this point, should be secondary.
(because it may be irrelevant and efforts may be in vain)
Prayers are with everyone.
Please be as patient as possible. Please don't panic, but act immediately.
Just as long as you are out of flood zones, and in sturdy shelter, you should be alright.
Don't look back, just consider the safety of your family and fellow citizens.
