Re: Have you ever faced Mandatory Evacuation?
We've had evac orders for hurricanes and almost had one for the west mims fire not long ago. I always laugh a little because when I lived in PR, we never got evac orders even though we had hurricanes galore there while I was a kid. I remember one was so bad that the roof was torn off the house, and a second one were my mom and uncle locked me in the bathroom with the dogs because the door to the house was shaking violently and they were trying to hold it, since screwing it to the frame wasn't helping.
We've been really lucky to not have had any house damage during the last storm, even though we were in its path and had to leave the house. Couldn't take the dogs with us, which of course messed with me, but my kids were more important. A lot of people within a few miles of our home weren't so lucky.
