You might not be able to ask ever.

Glad "the kid made it." A 32 year old is not a kid.

Chances are they did not evacuate because the last time NYC was hit hard was Donna. Mom might remember, but it is well before the daughter was conceived.

I will make a prediction, when San Diego is hit by a Hurricane, my coastal denizens will also refus to. The last one to hit was in my lifetime, but most San Diegans have no clue.

Hubby and I have looked at flood maps, we are not going to wait for the official order.
