North was the plan as that would be quicker. west not much so as it was bumper to bumper last time and we ran on the shoulder for 90 miles on I10/90.
Yeah we had Louisiana folks evacuating down I-10 plus those from our area - created a mess (well not for me since I'm required to stay ) - Louisiana really needs to force people north and not let them go west...
for those maps that will help as i will add them to my notebook of if/when we get shot out the door. Plus I now have a good texas map with most back roads so i can get off the highways and go via backroads till i can hit clear highway to run, in addition to the lights and sirens we will run anyways.
yeah stormpulse is a link i have used before this along with a few others that arent available to the public(only for EMS/LEO/Military/ATC) for getting data

The back roads were best for some when Rita hit us in 2005 - they are supposed to contra flow 69 which should help (although they didn't for Gustav even though they called a mandatory evacuation -of course everyone was on I-10 and 90 then ).
Hopefully that high will hold and force it more south like some of the latest models are showing.

Corpus !!!Heck it shows it to come into around 25 miles of PORT O'Connor,,,but it will change.. FINGERS< TOES EYES CROSSED FOR LUCK>>>
The projection now shows it turning north at the last mimute and hitting Port Lavaca dead on. That would affect you Sonny and Dustbowl's grandother in Aransas Pass. But it's still anyone's guess as to where it will really hit.
Please be careful all of you. If you evac, make your decision early and get clear.

As for the path I still think its gonna go farther north and to the east like gustav did as the water temp maps showed and lead it. The water temp current maps have a warm waters heading toward galveston/houston(where talking 2 deg temp difference), but that could be negated by some upper level winds that could shove it farther south as a small cold front went through North Texas today.
Time will tell and anything is possible as this storm hasnt been all that predictable to this point.
