In the Path of Hurricane Irene

["couldbecousin"]

They have mandatory evacuations less than a half mile from my house

 What happens then?  Do the police arrive, pound on the door and order people to leave their homes? 

They didn't explain what they would do but it has been largely ignored from what my son who just got in told me.   They made announcement over the public address system they have set up for it I could hear it here.  I for one would like to see them take me out of my house when I didn't want to leave.  Before anyone says anything about putting the people who will come to rescue you at risk  I would go as far as signing a paper telling them to leave me where I am till after the storm

 Thanks, I am following the updates online and hope not to be ordered out of my apartment by the police.

 By the time Irene gets all the way up to where I am, I doubt there will be much danger.

My in-laws have water up to their back wall and they are moving everything from the den to higher ground. And the storm surge is JUST coming in.

pouring rain here but we won't be ordered to evacuate.
trying to get my grading done before some idiot runs into a pole and cuts off our power.

I certainly appreciate any concern headed my way. Raining pretty hard and more consistent now. Rather large gusts now too. I am guessing 25 mph. Minions just went to bed and all have their own flashlights. In Portsmouth, where I was by default born at the Naval Hospital, an 11-year old was killed when a tree broke in two and smashed the corner of the house where his room was. You just don't know.

Wow, that sucks. I spent the Summer of 1978 there while in FRAMP School @ VAQ33 NAS Norfolk. We had a hurricane watch or warning but nothing landed. The kid's family must be devastated.

And I had just moved from CT to VB and was living in Charlestown Lakes in 1978.
