Gulf Coast States

I'm in the process of evacuating as we speak, I live in Southwest Louisiana less than 50 miles from the gulf. I'm headed out to Austin, Texas bright and early, well actually it'll be dark, but ya know.

Good luck - hope you escape it all in Austin (sometimes they get rain and/or tornadoes. Yikes!)

My father is going to be grand-pooba in charge of the Elks special needs camp if it looks like it will once again serve as a shelter - so he will certainly be going there. I'm not as keen to leave quite yet - we'll see.

You'll be in our thoughts! Let us know how things turn out when you can.

Oh yes - this isn't my first rodeo. If it is a category 3 or above, and coming in at Galveston, it might be in my best interest to head north. Category 1 or 2 - I should be okay. I'm northwest of the coast, and we usually don't get more than a bunch of rain and some rough winds. Again, I'm tracking the storm - you are right, Nate - it's no fun.
