Have you all that live on the East coast looked at the weather channel lately, theres a huge hurricane out there and we are in the projected path! I live just a few miles from the coast just south of Savannah Ga. and I'm starting my preparation list. I have to go buy more cat carriers this weekend if it looks like its going to hit close to here. We had to evacuate a few years ago, and it was so hard, I had 4 cats, 2 dogs, a parakeet, a siamese fighting fish and 3 kids packed into a Ford Taurus! My husband was stationed in Korea at the time and wasnt here. The drive to my familys house that normally takes 6 hours took 10 because of all the people leaving the area. It was awful! I'm getting prepared early this time just in case. Hopefully it wont hit here but I am keeping an eye on this one!
