We have our first Hurricane already - a day before the season starts. It went in over the Yucatan.

I keep a Storm List in my purse - organize the kids on who's going where, pickup outside loose objects, fill bathtubs with water, put pictures/papers in back of Tahoe, etc. If you look at the evacuation map for Texas, we're barely outside it on the East side of Houston. I hurricane shop all year, rotating stuff out to the kids just before it expires. We lived in Alvin when Alicia came through in 1983. We evacuated to LA when Rita came through in 2005 and ended up right in the middle of the storm when it turned that way and came home a week later to find that we had no electricity and lost 3 freezers full of food (mostly elk, venison, and pork). But, it will still be a struggle to decide if we stay or evacuate the next one. I DON'T LIKE HURRICANES!
