60 miles which way? . . . and remember you need
36 hours lead time because at 24 hrs, the evacuation order goes
"mandantory" . . . and they sure as heck are not going to let you go
back to the evacuated area. 60 miles would have bought some folks
nothing during the storms last year in Florida. Remeber Charlie
hitting southwest Florida and then cleaning Orlando Executive's clock?
That was a distance of about 150 miles.

I will let others respond to the concept of having spouses evacuate
seperately . . . I suspect most families would VERY strongly want to
stay together so that everyone can be kept track off.

Interesting thread . . . wishes for bluer skies for us all . . .
