House is on natural gas so stove ans hot water heater will run if we don't lose water. Last year was an adventure though. My son goes to The Citadel and they evacuated the school before Matthew hit. We had 4 cadets and my son at our house. Getting down there to pick them up was easy. Dropping them off and getting back was a different story. I95 was close in multiple areas so we took a ton of back roads and a bunch of them weren't even passable. In preparation for IRMA The Citadel has already prepared an evacuation roster and we will have 3 cadets plus my son with us again. Hopefully I won't have to resort to back roads gain this time if Irma hits. We will see what happens.
I was attending The Citadel in 1989 when Hurricane Hugo struck. We were evacuated the day before it made landfall and getting out of Charleston was a nightmare due to traffic. Getting back was just as bad because of debris and road closures.
