Yes indeed. It comes right down to being your own self care provider during these times. My scouting background and survival techniques and I guess everyone's survival instincts kick in. Unfortunately, the only ones who might be able to know what to do the next time, are too traumatized to do it. (I think I said that already. )

Talk about do-overs? IDK can't go there (probably would have chased after the cop and said WHAT? YOU SAID WHAT?) lol

Don't believe there is safety in numbers.

If they tell you to get out, get out. If you want to get out, don't wait till everyone else is leaving, go earlier.

If they tell you to stay, but you know better, than get out. (The SE Coast of Florida is now too large to evacuate. So now, with more people, and less land to absorb the water, what do they do? MOVED THE EVACUATION ZONES so that they have fewer people evacuating what used to be (and are moreso now) dangerous zones. They feel it's better so they don't have half million bodies missing or trapped in cars that didn't make it off the roadways.

If they tell you to store food and water for 3 days, store enough for 2 weeks.

Don't think things in your attic/crawl space are safe.

Sorry (((chalm))) some memories just don't go away, you KNOW.
