[Chat] bestfriends, now records

I think the best favor you can do for yourself is to inventory you goods--and then make sure your homeowners is sufficient to cover the list. Most homeowners' policies have no more the 20K to cover goods--and we've go almost that much in computers, cameras, and art works.

Might consider storing the inventory on-line somewhere [rather than on your own computer] or sending a copy of it to a relative some other place.

I keep a "travel list" so I don't forget things that I need. It is so much
easier than trying to think of everything when the time comes.

Wonderful to hear.
You know, I realize and fully understand many people thinking, "oh, it's
another hurricane, we can ride it out" and then getting stuck. But even
so,

why wouldn't they have a stash - like the Mormons(I think) who keep a

year's
supply of stuff on hand.

The first I'd think about would be my cats. I wouldn't want to put them
through it. And I wouldn't go anywhere without them. (which means I need
to
get another carrier or two) But I would have a stock of cat food and water
for them as well as other necessities for myself, if I were undecided
about

leaving.

Bless that doctor for staying with those animals.

Just saw a report where an anethesiologist had stayed behind in an

evacuated

hospital and taken in over 50 dogs, countless cats and a couple

hamsters

from people that had to evacuate but were not allowed to take their

pets.

He
promised them that he would not leave until the animals did. He's been
there

for 5 days without food or water.  The other day  a chopper came to

rescue

him

and the animals but crashed....all were fine, but  he had to wait

another

day.
Today they got them out. All the animals were doing well, the doctor
on

the other hand was exhausted and at his wits  end...but was the last

out,

after
the animals were safe.

One of the saddest stories I saw on TV was an interview with a man who
had swum 8 hrs with his dogs. He was crying so hard, apologizing to the
dogs for not getting out sooner and putting them through this. At least
he still had them with him, but I don't know if he could find food for
them.
