Re: Hurricane Ike....................

They are not going to go door to door with law enforcement but it is a strong suggestion to leave.  You always have the right to stay and protect your property.

who's really going to make you?

Re: Hurricane Ike....................

does that mean you Have to leave?

Mandontory means that you should leave and they will tell you to but if you don't leave and somthing would happen they will not help you. The reason that the people in the coastal countys need to leave is because of the stormsurge. If you watch the weather channel they have a coastal evacuation zones map that tells you the places that need to evacuate.

Yes, the eye is about 80 miles wide if the storm hits 50 miles from here we will still be in the eye.
