It doesn't do much harm to be hungry for 2 or 3 days

. Does anyone know, of those mandatory evacuations, where will the people stay? Is the city going to offer free hotels?
No free ride.
All the local governments have been sending out literature for years to folks living in area's that are in hurricane flood zones, with info as to what to bring and to have GO kits ready. They also tel you to plan to stay with friends or wherever, or to come to shelters, but to make these plans ahead of time. I have made arraignments to stay, if needed, with a friend on the north shore of Long Island. I'm 2 houses north of our evac zone so can in theory stay put. .
I just read on MSNBC that 2.5 million people are evacuating the eastern seaboard and it's a that the government ain't picking up the hotel tab
