to evacuate I think. If I feel it's necessary, like a cat 4 is going to hit my part of the panhandle, I can pack up and head to my parents in north Georgia. I'd never go to a shelter tho. I didn't leave for Ivan or Dennis because we are about 60 miles inland and they weren't anywhere near a "direct" hit for us. I waited too late to leave with Dennis really anyway. I won't do that again. I'd rather waste the time and gas driving to my parents that get flooded in. Katrina was the second 'cane this year that had water up to my back step.
