I work in the coastal town of Port Lavaca, TX. A couple of years ago Hurricane Claudette snuck into Port O'Connor earlier that predicted and headed north. It came into PL and did some significant damage to the houses and buildings in that town and caused some significant flooding, of course, nothing like Katrina has caused. I saw families that were pulling trailers full of their stuff, some dangerously overloaded and some leaving a trail of where they had gone like breadcrumbs in a forrest. One of my employees made the comment to me about loading up all the office equipment so it would not be destroyed or looted for that matter. I have 3 servers, 30 training computers and 9 administrative computers.
I told them that the most important thing was for them to take care of themselves. I sent everyone home and before I left I loaded up the three server computers that hold all the financials and our database, boarded up the glass windows and doors and headed north. I live about 90 miles north of Port Lavaca. The rest of the computers and office equipment was left to weather the storm.
My point is....take only what you need to survive and get the H_ _L out of harms way by any means legally possible.
