Made it back yesterday from Corpus just fine. The roads moved quickly for a mandatory evacuation, not at all like the nightmare scene around Houston. Anyway, I'm home now, far away from where anything will hit...though you wouldn't know it from all the dumbasses that have been buying out water and other supplies.

I've got plenty of friends and family in and around Houston to have me worried sick, though. Nothing to do but wait and see what happens now. : (

I have friends in Houston, too...Family in Carrollton, and I don't even know where that is, in relation. I hope you and yours all fare well. New Orleans was in a far worse geographical position to receive the brunt of a hurricane than Houston was, so let's hope the damage isn't as staggering.

Catelin -

If any of your friends or family need a place to stay I have room at my place in far NE Dallas. Holler if you hear from them and they are looking.

Places to stay are in high demand right now. Tues. there were 20,000 hotel rooms available in the Dallas metroplex. Wed. morning there were none available.

We have friends and family all around Houston. I know some have evacuated, but I'm not sure about my friend, Brian, who lives in LaPorte. He works at one of the oil refineries, too. I'm glad to know you and yours are safe. I watch this hurricane on the news, and man, it looks enormous. Scary stuff.

Stay safe--from the mobs of the panicked, I mean.
