Nope! Sometimes it's just TENS of miles to a safer place nearby. 🚗💨

If an evacuation order is given: ➡️ Go somewhere safer — not necessarily far ➡️ Think about the storm's strength ➡️ Think about YOUR flood risk at home

Bottom line: Know your home. Know your risks. Have a plan. Don't wait for the storm to figure it out. 💪
