I'd be moving all my cars out of the path of this thing while I had the chance...

Good time to go pitch a tent somewhere for a week or so.

Gas prices are already on the rise here, and this thing hasn't even hit yet!

We're pretty much stuck, all the freeways are jammed. They're opening up the inbound side of the freeways to outbound traffic now, and nobody is being let back into the city. They're doing well getting people out of Houston, considering there's over 4 million people here!

But, yours truly is hunkering down and riding it out. Tiff's turbo car gets the garage, my three hoopties are outside to weather the storm.

Thanks everyone. From the latests maps, I'm in better shape than ol' Nine Ball is (Katy, TX vs. redneck northeast Houston). Hope those guys stay safe. We'll of course know more tomorrow evening when the wind picks up.

I'll try to post pics and video if anything interesting happens

My bro-in-law actually flew into Houston this morning to take care of his parents house while they are in London. Crazy! I don't know what he was thinking. We was going to take off to Austin tonight but he's stuck there now!

Id be goin to the local u-stor-it and renting a 1st level garage so taht i coudl put the car adn valuables in. Those things are built like bomb shelters. Nearly bullet proof garage doors adn all. Hope all of you crazies make it ok if ya stick it out. I have been pondering that last couple nights what i would do if this were happening to me. If i would try to leave or stick it out.
When ya think of a storm and rain and floods it is VERY tough to understand how ya can get killed. It jsut naturally seems like ya woudl be lookin out the windows going "MAN this is a hell of a storm". I wish yall well. GL


John
