Sometimes You Just Have to Leave

The debate over "bugging-out" and "bugging-in" is somewhat of an artificial argument. Some disasters and events are such that it is better to leave your home, while with others it may just be better to sit tight. And sometimes, it may be a toss-up. 

Wild-fires fall into the "get your butt out of there" category. From the Daily Mail:
The massive wildfires sweeping through Colorado and New Mexico have claimed their first confirmed victim, as a woman was found burned to death in her remote home.

Linda Steadman, 62, was reported missing after the fire started on Saturday, and her remains were discovered on Monday at her house in Larimer County, Colorado.

Her home received two evacuation notices that appeared to go to her answering machine, and a firefighter who tried to get past a locked gate to her home to warn her was chased out by flames that he later saw engulf the house.
