Yeah I know: I've been branded a non-group person - doesn't play well with others. I am so upset. Let me know if you want to have some fun, without the drama - I'm good for that.

I am still hoping the heaviest part of the storm comes ashore in Kenedy County (<500 people, easy to evac, and very little property to damage).

Hi Roomie,I am leaving first thing in the morning for College Station (<120 miles inland on high ground). I will spend thursday and friday on campus (Tx A&M) working on my dissertation. Hopefully the storm will dissipate quickly once it comes ashore. If things get bad in College Station I may be asking for floor space in dallas.

You are at my house anytime. Would be really nice to see you again.

I am going to be here through Monday so I plan to make the HH on Friday at J. Gilligan's. I also learned that one of my favorite country bands, Diamond Rio is playing at Billy Bob's in Fort Worth Saturday night. Might go check it out.
Time to hit the rack ...

Hon, you are likely to spend all day on the road if you haven't left yet. I-45 is reported to be all one-way north, both sides of the hiway starting at 9am today, but it will still be hell.I will spend thursday and friday on campus (Tx A&M) working on my dissertation.
A few suggestions for anyone hitting the road, just in case one might help...
(1) Take more drinking water than you think you'll need. No pit stops.
(2) Take zip lock bags and a secure container to hold used zip locks. No pit stops.
(3) Take room deordorizer. Whew.
(4) Check your radiator along with the rest of your engine before you leave. Wear cool clothing. Windows down and AC off when you're stalled or moving slowly.
(5) Finally, take fill 3 or 4 gallon bleach jugs with non-drinking water and take it, in case your car overheats. Many will.
If you are reading this from the coastal area, you're late leaving. This one is bigger than 1900 storm that level Galveston, the biggest Texas has had in recorded history.
It looks like it is projected to retain hurricane status winds inland as far as Dallas. It could be Oklahoma's first hurricane.
God be with you all...

It did help that I left in the early evening and already had a full tank of gas when I left. I also took some backroads. Even then, it took me three hours to reach a point, I-45 north of Conroe, that I normally could reach in a hour.Mitch, good to hear you escaped early, and not bad on the trip. I figured it would take much longer.
