According to the National Hurricane Center, our upcoming hurricane season should be a doozy. The water is warmer than normal and the wind patterns in the Atlantic are favorable for tropical storm development. Our first choice as an evacuation destination is Alexandria, Louisiana, and I've charted an alternate route to get there that I hope will bypass most of the traffic chaos that comes with a South Louisiana evacuation. I suppose Oxford, Mississippi, will be our fallback destination. Not a terrible place to be in a holding pattern for a few days.

Stormy weather

Our area has been lucky for quite a while, with no major hurricanes since 1965. The big storms have either veered off or petered out before they made landfall. We've had a few smaller storms that have taken the paths of the worst-case-scenarios, and the possibilities in case of the Big One are pretty scary. When the powers-that-be say get out, we go.
Will you e-mail me your routes?
We are restocking the boxes. Most Mormons have food storage - we have hurricane evacuation kits.
