good advice. My aunt, uncle and cousins all live outside Boston right on the ocean and this is the first storm they are contemplating leaving for - proof of just how serious it is. (as a reference my aunt has been there since she was born in (I think) 1944 or 45. I think my cousin and family who live on the vineyard are also leaving although for whatever reason it's a spot where year round residents hate to leave - even when it's dangerous to stay.

Take care of yourself - good luck and prayers for you and your family. Both with the storm itself and the stress of taking care of everyone else in it.
If my family is any example people are heeding the call to evacuate which is a blessing.
