good information on hurricane evacuation planning

Prior survival is not a good predictor of future survival, given changing climate patterns with more intense hurricanes and huge rainfall totals that exacerbate flooding in areas that are far from any storm surge, e.g. Hurricane Helen and North Carolina’s experience in the mountains
