What would you do if warned about an oncoming hurricane?

25. As a large livestock farmer, this will never apply. However, for me it would depend on circumstances

At my farm in IL, I have 300 gal of fuel, the necessary equipment to power everything with generators, enough food and cash for at least 3 months etc. etc. No matter how severe the storm, we are prepared to ride it out here. We must. I have a responsibility to the animals.

In a hurricane situation without any large animal concerns - it would depend on whether it was a mandatory evacuation, and my proximity to the water and winds. I'm a safety gal so I know I'd have brought in enough supplies to endure the aftermath for a couple weeks if I were going to stay (if it could be reasonably ASSumed my place wasn't in the direct line of fire).

If I had a place too close to the danger zone, I'd go. Board the place up if there were time, get the pets in the car, and head for the hills. If you live in an area that's exposed to hurricane potential, you MUST have a plan. Its foolish otherwise.
