Starting to stress because DH will be on midnights in this mess startin tonight up til Monday afternoon. Our town hasn't been evacuated, but some close to the water are already being evacuated. I'm about 10-12 miles from the coast. With a 6 month old, dog and cat, I'm starting to get nervous. Anyone here being evacuated?

    Any family or friends further inland you can visit for the weekend?  My cousins are directly across from the beach on the DE shore and they're under a mandatory evacuation so they're coming north to our city.  If we didn't have babies we could make it a fun weekend.

    Parts of our county are being evacuated and the county I work in is pretty much being evacuated after 5 pm today.  Where I live is safe, although nearly at sea level.  I'm headed west tomorrow to Baltimore because I don't feel like losing power with Claire and we also live on a wooded lot with 2 acres of trees around us.

    I have lived on the coast for ever and have dealt with at least one big hurricaine in the past. The coast line is always evacuated here because of the swells and I believe high tide is at around the same time as the storm.

    Where I am, about 5 miles from the coast (my lifetime home is a block away) we have never been evacuated. Just because we do not get the ocean effect in the same force. 

    As long as you take precautions, tape large windows. Remove everything that can be blown around from your yard. You should be safe. Of course, no matter where you live if you are in the line for the hurricaine, you could suffer from a power outage. 

    Do you have any friends or family that could come by to help you ride out the storm? No one likes to be home alone in these things! 

    A lot of years and a million tears finally led me to you.

    No mandatory evacuations for us but there are areas very close to us that are.  We are hunkered down and ready to ride it out.

    We don't have to evacuate but my parents have a house at the shore in Atlantic City and were just told to evacuate. Now they are stuck in horrible traffic trying to get back to Philly. I hope that their little house makes it through the storm it is where my dad grew up.  I know that our basement is going to flood it is just going to be a matter of how deep : (

    Two towns next to us are, so far we aren't mandatory.  Trying to decide what to do.  My DH doesn't want to leave if he doesn't have to.  I was going to go with Daniel tomorrow but now I feel like we should all go.
