I left yesterday at 2 pm went up 290 and got into bryan college stattion abd settled in my cot at about 730.

I am so glad I listened to my dad...he again was right.

he said if i didn't leave then...i could very well drown in the car because so many people will be trapped in the vehicles when it begins to flood.

Houston may very well see high drowning deaths in vehicles...you know like i how the freeways flood.

hopefully everything pans out well...but am glad to be here in a shelter watching this on the internet and listening to local radio on the internet...almost like being there.

Yes, the Houston freeways is definitely not where you wanna be during a tropical storm.

I thought that those Pooper Coopers would float??!!??

It was 100F yesterday and the same is planned for today.

Just saw on the news that Rita has adjusted focus to hit Galveston dead on.

Just talked to my friend Judy. Eric and Trish left at 2:30am and by 5:30am had only advanced 15 miles. Judy and Ralph aren't leaving. There has to be a better way evacuate people. At least the Texas people took to heart what has happened with other catastrophic storms and urged people to leave far enough in advance.

Judy said that everything is closed and everything was already sold out yesterday - water, canned goods, etc.
