it's a lot easier to prepare when you have that much warning,huh?
Also, when you do these preparations about 5 or 6 times a year, it gets old. I think people were tired of "preparing" for hurricanes when Katrina hit. I'm in Mississippi and we were forced to evacuate 5 times in 2004, and 2 times in 2005 before Katrina hit. My husband was in the air force, and they decided with Katrina he needed to shelter, but me and the kids evacuated. We were so tired of these evacuations that turned out to be nothing that the last thing we said to each other (the DAY before katrina hit) was "see ya on tuesday". If I had only known the horror he was about to endure...

BhamMama-I totally agree with you about the hyper-rediness,I'm just worried that people will get tired of it once again and start slacking off.
You guys are so sweet-I wasn't expecting all the kudos for my post. :blushing: Seriously-I was extremely blessed (not lucky, blessed-as my MIL says) as far as all of that went.
