We Are Evacuating • 9.12.18

With news that Hurricane Florence winds could be prolonged due to stalling, which also greatly increases our rain (and flood risk), we make the difficult decision to evacuate Myrtle Beach. We're heading to Georgia.

I know how annoying unsolicited advice can be. Can I interest y’all in a hurricane story? We stayed during Irma because we had literal gallons of water stored up, cans and cans of food, we’re on the second floor, and my husband is quite a capable outdoorsman. My only concern was if a tree were to fall on us, or if we were to have a tornado pop up. The night it hit us, my family was fast asleep, but I had convinced myself I needed to stay awake in case one of those tall, skinny, bendy AF pine trees crashed through our home. I stayed up all night, and when my husband woke up and stood in front of me the next morning, I hallucinated that he was stretching up toward the ceiling (I don’t do well with sleep deprivation😅). I said to him, “you’re getting so tall.” And literally passed out. Anywaaaaay I’m glad you and your family is safe and had a place to stay! Try and make the best of it! Evacuation Vacation? Ok I’m done.

"The most important stuff is us and the cats." Too true, but I cannot imagine leaving my house not knowing what will be there when you return. Keeping you all in my thoughts.

With how unpredictable the hurricane is, I'm glad you guys evacuated. Emile is like the most generous person in the entire world haha.

[@Jedasis]

As soon as I heard Chuggaa is going to be hosting you guys as you evacuate I was not surprised. That's exactly what I'd expect from him.

[@crystalclearanimations1323]

This just shows how much of a good person/friend Emile is too Stephen. Not because he gives them these amazing gifts, but because he opened his house up too his friends and their family in a time of crisis.

[@jkirstyn]

Wow! Emile is such a good friend. I'm so glad there's people like him around cause he's such a ray of sunshine

[@thebayxlr]

Emily's generosity of gifts has been amazing to see in the past. But I will admit. This kind of generosity got me to cry a little bit. Just making sure everyone's safe and he's willing to do this for you guys is absolutely amazing.

[@babassoonist557]

Thankfully, the hurricane slowed dawn further then anyone thought, and was a category 1 almost immediately after landfall

[@donaldfort8131]

I know right, I am so glad it has slowed down, I live south of Stephen and Mal, So I have also been scared.

[@jazzygirl310]

I'm glad that you were able to get to safety. You're absolutely right, evacuation is one of the toughest things to do. At least you were able to plan and weigh all options to make that decision. I recently had to evacuate my home due to wildfires in California (specifically, the Carr Fire), and at times, there's little/no warning. It seems like a year for unpredictable natural disasters......Stay safe, everyone!

[@XenoMonicals]

Emile is amazing You and Mal? He'd take that anyday Your parents? Of course The cats? With Kirby, plus 3 very stressed out cats from a long car ride, seems risky, but I feel like you guys know what to do Stay safe! Well wishes from Indiana!

If Florence is anything like Harvey, I'm praying that the flooding doesn't do much.

i live in houston and i wish i would have left i have about 2 feet of water literally less then 5 feet from my front door before luckily it started to recede

[@RobertoWhyyoucare]

I don't think it's as bad as Harvey was. It doesn't look like it will cause as much damage, both in property and in life. I live around the Houston area on a third floor and we still got flooded to shit. Florence is still bad though.

yeah harvey was horrible once they said florence was going to stall it reminded me so much like harvey

I know Keppy was nervous, but his face is still so adorable! And the way he was acting was so adorable! I guess I'm just a big cat person XD In any case, I'm glad you guys got away safely and were elsewhere when Florence struck.

[@pir8grl08]

I am so thankful that you all are safe! Though it has weakened to a cat 1, Florence could still cause problems like flooding and isolated tornadoes. Things can be replaced, you and your family cannot. You all made a smart decision to leave. Praying for a peaceful return home.

[@ianthesilverfire5224]

It's hard to watch from a distance as people you care about are in a potentially dangerous situation. I'm glad you guys decided to leave, but I'm so sorry you have to live with that anxiety for the next few days while you wait to see what happens. Also, Stephen, Mal, Steve, Deb, Emile, cats, rabbits. Most ambitious crossover ever!

Evacuating, no matter how not bad or bad the hurricane is, SUCKS. You have to pick up all your stuff, leave your HOME, and wonder if it will be in one piece when you get back. It just sucks so I’m sorry you have to go through that. Stay safe! Try to have some fun with Emile!

I'm glad you're safe. Emile is an awesome friend. Here's hoping your stuff survives the storm.

[@NYBredBamaFed]

I cannot even imagine what it would feel like to evacuate your home. Our home is supposed to be our refuge from this crazy world that we live in. To have to leave and wondering if the house will still be intact is something I have never experienced. I am happy that all of you will be safe. Also, I do apologize if my previous post made it seem as if I was trying to tell you what to do in terms of evacuating. Based on the weather models at that time evacuating seemed like the best idea. I felt that it would be better to leave and be safe rather than stay and put yourself in danger. Luckily, Florence weakened a lot prior to landfall and I feel the situation will be better, though lots of rainfall can still occur, especially if it does stall. I feel more confident that all of your homes will be fine or will just have some minor damage. Finally, you are fortunate to have such a great friend like Emile. He’s truly the best!

We evacuated from Pawleys on the same day, and also with two kitties, and also to inland Georgia. It was adorable to watch our kitty Sunshine walk around the car trying to figure out where the heck he was. He was incredibly brave until the windshield wipers turned on. Didn't leave his carrier again after that. We then had a full blowout on a tire of the car my dad was driving less than 10 miles from the hotel because of course we did. I'm still glad we evacuated, and I'm relieved that y'all did too. Hope our houses are fine when we get back!

Jeeze man. We’ve been having our own brand of crazy here in Massachusetts as a bunch of houses spontaneously exploded last night.

[@Zelda345able]

My sister lives in NC and told us they lost power a few days ago. They just now made the evacuations mandatory

[@Skystarry75]

Unpredictable storms are the worst. When they are that unpredictable, it's probably best to evacuate, just in case. I understand that it's not easy (though, I've luckily never had to do so myself) but when even the experts aren't sure, the potential best case scenarios and worst case scenarios are more extreme, and the risks are become difficult to weigh. Also, good on Chugga for helping out and giving everyone a place to stay! I know it was probably difficult because there'd be 5 people, 4 cats and a rabbit in the same house, but I think the benefits of not having to worry about his friends (or their family) was enough.

[@simonbriggs203]

Best of luck to you, Mal, your parents, and the kitties. I'm glad you're smart enough to analyze the reports and decide to evacuate after taking all precautions, and hoping for the best. This is how you survive. You're a smart guy Stephen. And I hope your time with Emile is a good time (even if it is unnerving to know all your stuff is at risk). Be sure to get a good view of the walk-in monster closet for us again. Maybe that's where you'll be sleeping if the couches are full.

I'm glad to see that all of you are safe. I remember Hurricane Sandy back in back in 2012. I live in the northern area of New Jersey. We didn't get hit too hard. Heavy rain, wind was a bit on the high side. No damage to our house, but our power was out for two weeks. Lines around the block at gas stations, very cold every night, downed trees and power lines creating road blocks, etc. Not a fun time. Oddly enough, the last KZbin video I watched before I lost power was one of your vlogs. I can't remember which one it was for the life of me, but I do remember that you two were living in the second apartment at the time. Anyways, sorry to gush about myself. Just wanted you to know that you can make it through this. Best wishes!
