our area (Citrus County) can expect to see conditions very similar to the NoName Storm of 1993, including a huge storm surge. He was on Channel 13 via phone from the EOC.

This area was devastated by the NoName.

Also, deputies went past our house about a 1/2 hour ago with the bullhorns, announcing "mandatory evacuation."

No one in our neighborhood is leaving.

Lynn, please send the coffee recipes again! Someone deleted the "Survival Poll" thread and I hadn't printed all the tips out yet. Wish I had access to that thread.

Look, I know this isn't exactly the time to ask questions about it, and maybe I will post something about it after the storm passes, but...

why are you staying in your homes during a mandatory evactuation?

maybe because they are a whole state away from a landfalling min-cat3 hurricane!!

the sheriff sounds a little loopy.

again...this story is about the WEST coast.
