OMG, I just read your article and it has me in tears! I wasnt in NC for Hurricane Mathew but I was sure there for Hurricane Florence/Dorian and that definitely was enough for me.. There is no way in hell I would ever leave my dogs behind but I don't have a son any kids so that could absolutely play a determining factor in that.. I do feel ur pain tho, and understand how scary a hurricane can be.
I am incredibly happy that everything worked out alright for u, be sure to thank ur lucky stars becuz a lot of people werent so lucky..
I guess this just goes to show we should all be incredibly thankful for the things we have..
Thanks for the reminder and I wish the best for u and ur family.. take care..
