USN Ben Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I'm evacuating tomorrow. I'm only a few hundred feet from the ocean, but up on the 5th floor. I wouldn't go, but the Navy is making it mandatory (I'm on base). Oh well. I'll have to watch this thing on TV from a land far away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
