In reply to the discussion: What would you do if warned about an oncoming hurricane? [View all]LeftyMom
(49,212 posts)36. I live 100 miles inland, and the water off shore comes down from the arctic.
If we ever have a hurricane here we're all long past fucked.
We're barely second to New Orleans in flood risk though. I suppose that's offset by being the only sizable California city nowhere near a fault worth noticing. I wouldn't trade, floods are slow and give plenty of warning.
Either way, the plan is the same. Put kid, cats and whatever isn't nailed down into the car, head over the Sierras to relatives in Nevada.

Yes. And if it was called "Frankenstorm" and another "Perfect Storm," I'd leave.

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