As you may have heard, Hurricane Dean is near the Coastal Bend and Mexico. I was wondering if you were in a situation and you had to evacuate quickly in case of a hurricane, what would you take with you and why?
I would unregrettably take my Playstation 2 and collection of Playstation games, no lie. I can't live without gaming.

Haha evacuations. I don't think I would evacuate. When Rita was coming, we didn't. We didn't budge for Katrina either. If Dean comes our way, we're not moving. (I live in Houston)
Anyways, if I had to evacuate, I would take my laptop/ipod/essentials.

It didn't barely rain on the northeast side of town :)
I guess I should have specified where in Houston, seeing as it's a rather large city. Regardless, I know the southwest/west parts went practically untouched. I walked my dogs in the hurricane. Regardless, we had 2.5 million people evacuate and I still decided to stay put regardless if the hurricane was going to come.

Where I live, we barely got any rain.

I've had to before and I just took some books so I wouldn't be bored, and we smuggled our animals into a hotel once when we didn't have our RV to go to Georgia in.
It sucks when you lose everything, but the important stuff is your family.

My friend Alexis had to evacuate from New Orleans when it hit, That was so sad.
They lost a lot of things.

Nothing like that has happened to me ever, but hm...my cats, my purse (which has my wallet/phone/etc) and if I could drag out my computer I would.

I came back on Sunday and I still haven't unpacked, so if there's a sudden need to evacuate, I'd just zip up my luggage and go. xD
I'd definitely snatch my purse up right away. It usually has all the 'valuable' contents I own; cell phone, ipod, glasses, wallet. Then, if I could sneak it in, I'd bring AALLLL of my stuffed animals. As in, all twenty-something (I haven't bothered to count.

)
