Yes, the GOV just issued a MANDATORY EVAC for all parties south of I-10, but 
I am only 1/2 mile south of that arbitrary line so we will defy the powers 
that be and stay here in our fortress. 4 year old brick, solidly built, and the 
proper precautions have been taken. 20 miles from the coast, so the surge wont 
hurt us.

How much better can it be 1/2 mile from here? ~ : I

Jeanne? Please, Ryan, one storm at a time.
