Evacuate (the Dance Floor)! And the Whole Area.

Elder law focused post today.  

Imagine a natural disaster hits your town.  I live in Virginia Beach, and you can imagine the panic this past summer when a hurricane was forecast to hit our area from the south at Category 4, and plow through the Outer Banks and flood the entire eastern part of Virginia under feet of rain.  Yes I said feet.  Of.  Rain.  

People evacuated over a week before the storm was forecast to hit!  The state of Virginia ordered the lowest elevation areas in eastern VA to evacuate mandatorily.  Wow.  

And then, miracle of miracles, the forecasts changed, the storm track changed, and Virginia was spared.  North Carolina, however, was not.  Widespread flooding happened.  Tornadoes.  Rain.  Storms.  Everything.  And then the terrible things afterward started coming out in the news.  People trapped in their houses.  Thousands of dead animals on farms.  Etc.  The area is still recovering.  Then I read this article here about evacuees with disabilities.

THINK ABOUT THIS FOR A MINUTE.  Do you have a plan for yourself, if you are elderly, in the event you have to evacuate your house?  You may not have as much time as you think--out in California the wildfire victims had almost no time to evacuate.  So what is your plan for a sudden evacuation?  If you are younger and have an elderly parent or other relative who you are caring for--do you know what their plan is?  Do they need your help coming up with a plan?  Are you (and your ability to physically help them or take them in) a feature of their plan?  Better to plan ahead and ask today!  

My firm can assist you in coming up with a plan to take care of your elderly parents (or person with special needs) in the event of an evacuation or other similar situation.  Give us a call today.  

​Turn up the music
Let's get out on the floor
I like to move it
Come and give me some more
Watch me getting physical
Out of control
There's people watching me
I never miss a beat
Steel the night, kill the lights
Feel it under your skin
Time is right, keep it tight
'Cause its pulling you in
Pump it up you can't stop
Cause it feels like an overdose
(Feels like an overdose)
Evacuate the dance-floor
I'm infected by the sound
Stop this beat is killing me
Hey little DJ let the music take me underground
Evacuate the dance-floor
I'm infected by the sound
Stop this beat is killing me
Hey little DJ come burn this place right down to the ground
My body's aching
That's some overload
Temperatures rising
I'm about to explode
Watch me I'm intoxicated
Taking the show
It`s got me hypnotized
Everybody step aside
Steel the night, kill the lights
Feel it under your skin
Time is right, keep it tight
'Cause its pulling you in
Pump it up, you can, t stop
Cause it feels like an overdose
(Feels like an overdose)
Evacuate the dance-floor
I'm infected by the sound
Stop this beat is killing me
Hey little DJ let the music take me underground
Evacuate the dance-floor
I'm infected by the sound
Stop this beat is killing me
Hey little DJ come burn this place right down to the ground
Come on and evacuate
Feel the club is heating up
Move on and accelerate
Push it to the top
Come on and evacuate
Feel the club is heating up
Move on and accelerate
You don't have to be afraid
Now guess who's back on a brand new track?
They got everybody in the club going mad
So everybody in the back
Get your back up on the wall and just shake that thang
Go crazy, Yo lady, Yo baby
Let me see sou wreck that thang
Now drop it down low, low
Let me see you take it to the dance-floor, yo
Everybody in the club
Evacuate the dance-floor
Everybody in the club
I'm infected by the sound
Everybody in the club
Stop this beat is killing me
Hey little DJ let the music take me underground
Evacuate the dance-floor
I'm infected by the sound
Stop this beat is killing me
Hey little DJ come burn this place right down underground
