My city is flooded in.
We were prepared to jump in the minivan and go days ago, but as the hurricane kept getting closer, at least where I am, the wind predicted kept going down so we decided to stick it out when the worst when we were supposed to get was 45mph (continuous wind) with gusts up to 70. Well, we never topped 25, with gusts being higher of course.
Yes, my city is literally flooded in, but I'm on high ground and okay.
I was pleasantly surprised that after I lost electricity (very local, 4 houses) that within a half an hour it was back up.
I was right to stay.
I was more right to stay and not go to work. My boss said, hey we're still open. I responded that the wife had orders that I wasn't going anywhere. If I had left, I wouldn't have been able to come back. Possibly for days. The shop did close at 1pm today, but it'd have been too late to weather it out with my family.
