Our Facebook Administrator evacuated from Longmont, Colorado last Friday due to the rains and flood. They received a years’ worth of rain in four days. Her immediate observations talking to neighbors before she left was how few people “felt a sense of urgency” and weren’t planning on leaving. After she was safely in New Mexico, she wondered if their lack of urgency was still there after more damns were breached. They key is to leave *before* there is a sense of urgency.

Comment #6: Peepers never feel foolish, but un-prepped may wish, severely, that they had peeped
