to evacuate or to not evacuate

Okay so we are under probably the third hurricane watch this summer and so far we really have not seen much of anything, but I think Ike might change that.  We are actually thinking about leaving.  I have already called my uncle in Austin and secured us a place to stay, and Rich and I are going to start packing tonight.  Part of me wants to stay and see what a hurricane is like, but the other part of me really wants to go to austin and see what is there.  Plus if the power goes out and we don't have air conditioning Rich will probably evacuate anyways.  Ill keep you posted.
