We are about 2 hours from the coast of NC so I really hope all we get is some rain and a little wind. I usually keep my pantry stocked so we should be ok. Certainly hope everyone is ok and there is no damages.

Check out Flylady for her list of "must haves" for fast evacuations.
She also mentions cat cages (for small dogs too) because if you're in a public building for safety they don't want small dogs getting hysterical where they have small kids.
Also don't forget pet meds and foods and favorite blankets and toys. Covers for the cages to keep them quiet.
GAS FOR THE CAR....Cell phone charger, and one in the car also, so you can charge it while driving.
CASH...hidden in your clothes, or in inside pockets.
Glucose tabs, even if you aren't diabetic, it will keep your blood sugar up till you can find some protein to keep you going.
