I think the only reason I evacuated for Rita was because of all the coverage that Katrina got. Rita sent the city into a panic. Cell service went down and you couldnt buy gas anywhere and I just got caught up in the panic of wanting to get out of town. I still live about five minutes from the water.

My grandparents lived in Seabrook (2 blocks from the Gulf) during Carla - they stayed, but after that, they got out of town anytime a cat. 4 or 5 was looming.
I was going through rush when Alicia hit (!), and going home saw signs of flooding, and downed trees. I think my parents had no electricity for a day or two.
My parents left for Rita, but my father has mad navigational skills - he went by backroads to Tyler.
The problem with going north is that often that is where tornadoes form.
