Yet another question..

#1 Postby Josephine96 » Thu Aug 12, 2004 11:26 am

Sorry if my questions are starting to irk you people..

Where I'm staying right now.. with my friend.. He has a son who is my age.. {this friend is old enough to be my dad and I'm friends with his kids too lol}

Anyway.. He has a girlfriend who lives here in Osceola County.. in a MOBILE HOME..

I know this is a rather stupid question.. but should she evacuate..? I tried to tell my friend {the younger 1} that he needs to think about finding a safe place for his girlfriend.. but I don't think he took me seriously..

YES! YES! YES! GET OUT OF MOBILE HOMES! Even in a tropical storm you don't want to be in them.

I would not and DID NOT stay in my mobile home in anythign higher then a TS. Even if nothing ended up happening there was no way I wanted to go through all that fear with winds howling around that flimsy protection. Maybe she can be convince it would be a great time to hang out with friends or her boyfriend during the 'show'...might just be a time the words 'hurricane party' can become benificial.

All it takes it one large tree branch flying through the air towards those thin outer walls.

Again - the answer is BLOODY FREAKING HECK YES!
