Still don't know if we're going to leave or not. Currently they're saying Irma will be a Tropical Storm when she gets here. Finally found a hotel in Atlanta that had a room, don't even ask what it cost! But they take pets at no extra charge. So I made a reservation. Then we read the small print and discovered they only take dogs. So I called the hotel and whoever answered said that was true, but she'd check. She came back and said sadly dogs only. Then she said to wait a minute, her supervisor had just said they'd take us and our cat. What a relief.
We have until 4 pm Saturday to cancel this reservation if we don't need it, so we're still watching all the reports.
We've talked to several of our neighbors and they're going, so we have some decisions to make.

Any possibility you could go a little further north over the Tennessee border? Might get better rate? Either way, be safe and evacuate. I am in SW GA (Albany) and we are being told to expect 45-65 mph substained winds and gusts up to 75-80 mph. I am most worried about tornadoes as we already had those in January, thank you!

The threat of tornadoes worries me too. It was almost impossible to find a room anywhere.
DeleteWhat a dreadful dilemma. We have family and friends in various places in Florida--hard to settle to anything here when feeling such concern for those in the path of the storm. It seems that by the time anyone can be sure they should leave its almost too late to go.
ReplyDeleteThat must be so nerve racking not knowing. Wishing you all the best through this coming Irma
ReplyDeleteIt's comforting to know you have a room! How far will you have to travel? I hope the traffic won't be too bad. I need to go check on Irma's progress. I know Rita made us have to put on a new roof. If Irma veers this way, may have to batten down the hatches here as well. Take care!
ReplyDeleteA terrible time and hard decisions for you to make.
ReplyDeleteYou'll make the right one.
ReplyDeleteGlad you found a room and so nice that the manager said your cat could stay.
ReplyDeleteBe safe, such hard times.
cheers, parsnip xx
I have just watched our News here in the UK and they have said that everyone has been advised to leave. Stay safe.
ReplyDeleteGreat that they will accommodate you and your pets. I think I would go just to be safe. Harvey really did a job on Houston for so many days it just seems like a good idea to be out of danger. Good luck whatever you decide.
ReplyDeleteI do hope that what ever you decide that you'll be safe, thinking of you
ReplyDeleteDon't get stuck in evacuation gridlock on the roads. It's so hard to know what to do and when. Be safe.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you. Stay safe whatever you do. B x
ReplyDeleteYou are in my prayers. Take care, whatever you decide.
ReplyDeleteI wish you all the best with this difficult decision. Praying the storm changes course and goes further away.
ReplyDeleteit is a very difficult situation.. Stay safe..
ReplyDeleteThat would be a tough decision to make. I think I would err on the side of caution and go for it (getting out of town). The "better safe than sorry" theory. Good luck with whatever you decide to do! I remember years ago in San Diego we had terrible rain for several days, flooded streets, etc. The city decided to close down the next day when more rain was predicted because so many roads were flooded, etc. Schools closed, businesses, etc. And yep, you are right, not a drop of rain came the next day. But what if it had? The impact would have been potentially catastrophic. Go with your gut.

Thinking of you and glad you have somewhere safe to go... and are able to take the cat.
ReplyDeleteMust be so hard to decide. I hope you'll be safe and that your home won't be too badly hit by the storm either.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts are with you and everyone in this terrible situation. Whatever you decide, stay safe.
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard to make a decision like this, based on a storm that can change direction and strength while you're in the process of trying to decide.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you and glad you have somewhere safe to go...
