In reply to the discussion: So my 86 year old dad has decided to ride out Florence [View all]phylny
(8,377 posts)My husband was in South Carolina on a business trip and called his 93-year-old father in New Bern yesterday to see if he and his wife could meet him as he traveled north out of South Carolina and husband would bring them up here. Father-in-law refused. Today, he called my husband in a panic, asking him to come get them. It was impossible, as my husband was already on his way north - all roads led north and the exit ramps south were closed. So, my husband called his step-brother to see if the four of them wanted to try to travel north (we're in Virginia, but out of the danger zone).
Once someone gets it in their minds that they want to stay, it's hard to change their minds. I wish my F-I-L had heeded husband's warning yesterday when husband could have changed his route to pick them up.
