    +1. This storm is looking like a very dangerous storm. Heard this morning they're saying it could be a CAT 5 soon.

    Prayers to those that will be effected.

    Jersey doesn't have left turns, they have jug handles
    Ohio is a fly over state, no sure who lives there
    Tenn needs to clean that up if true.

    Let's keep focused on the people, and hope they evacuate.

    There are some that are home bound or do not have the ability to leave. Those are the only ones that should need help! Every situation is different but if you need to leave and aren't able you should be contacting some gooberment official or some good samaritan to get out before the last minute.

    How does a mandatory evacuation work? What happens if you don't evacuate? Are there no laws about for workers during a mandatory evacuation? Can't be penalized for evacuating? I understand first responders and hospital workers having to stay, but anyone else...

    If you don't leave by a certain time you are informed that First responders won't come and get you until the all clear is given you are on your own.

    The last 10 years of my job with the DOJ I was in a Central Office position, but I was stationed in the field. Trust me when I say most the numb nuts in DC are already taking this opportunity to avoid commuting to work, and likely being paid to work from home.
    The most frustrating part of working for a boss who was located in DC was trying to find him (anyone in DC for that matter) when the first snowflake or raindrop hit the windshield. It was amazing how often they used weather as an excuse not to come into work, or be completely unavailable for,days on end.

    Around here, the refineries, hospitals, emergency response, city workers, and others have shelters either in the city or a little farther inland where they have a hurricane crew. Once the storm passes they have passed to get back in because the police will block entry paths if the evacuation order isnt lifted. Nobody is penalized. Usually everybody works together to get stuff back rolling and people back home so it works out pretty good. You technically dont have to evacuate but once it gets to a certain point they tell people write their SS# on their body and your on your own till it passes.

    That's scary. Wonder what people will think of nuclear power if we have an incident like Japan did? Let's pray they are on top of it and over prepared

    I would think if there's a mandatory evac order, nobody is getting fired from their job if they leave town.

    Hopefully this is true " is built to withstand any natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes, fires, floods and earthquakes."

    Not sure this is the right post to make such a joke. I believe in joking but if you have ever been through hurricanes you would understand maybe. Prayers to those affected.

    No kidding, can't believe how many guys mentioned this. If your boss was told to evacuate and did how would he be around to run a business and penalize you for not being there?

    If you are in that position and live in a hurricane area, you should have had the sense to make arrangements long before this. There is assistance out there, but you can't wait for it to come to you. If you do, Good luck.
