We have never evacuated but storm surge or flooding aren't issues on our property.

...and most storms don't stall out on the coast and dump rain for 48 hours straight. What normally isn't a flooding issue on someone's property suddenly becomes one.

So when people go "oh, this is just a cat 1/2 pfffft" it completely ignores the fact this storm isn't acting like your average cat 1/2.

Hey I am not making fun of people for leaving, if they are nervous and inexperienced with storms then by all means get out. I am just saying some things I have seen in regards to this storm you would think the apocalypse is coming.

And if I ever flood you better lookout because pretty much all of SE LA would be flooded as well.

Experience doesnt matter much when theres 8' of rising water in your house and 70 mph winds outside. At that point youre fricked.

I would rather people be scared shitless and leave than stay and get surprised by 40" of unrelenting rain and flooding.

Not sure why urging people to leave makes people melt on here.
