Trust me on that one! I've driven the I-45 route in between Houston and Dallas more times than I care to count. What a lovely drive it is too! I can only imagine what that road could look like later this week.

Looks like we're going to get our drop of rain...watch carefully, the little storm band is moving very fastWe ate lunch at Red Mesa and were coming home down 4th street, noticed the clouds in the east, then WFLA started warning about a band headed our way. And just about the time we walked in the door the rain started.

There are freepers out there that could be very hurt by insensitivity, especially those in the path of the storm. Recriminations later please, this is to help people and to commisserate, not denigrate.

LOL---Dang, I must really drive FAST when I go to Galveston...I figured 300 miles at 60 miles an hour, because it takes me 5 hours...
If it is 450 miles...I have been driving 90 mph!!!
I guess that explains the ticket I got just outside Huntsville a couple of years ago....LOL

Actually, by my Texas Highways Map, Galveston to Dallas is 288 miles.
BTW, the Aggie game is in jeopardy, no? I live here in College Station.

What a lovely drive it is too! I can only imagine what that road could look like later this week.You'll only have to worry about what it looks like on the side of the road. The Good Ole Boys will be through those roads with their chainsaws before quick can get ready. That you can count on.

From downtown Houston to Downtown Dallas is 247 miles. From downtown Houston to Galveston ( coast ) is 47 miles. I think that is 294 miles from Dallas to the coast.

It means that the storm has potential for more strengthening.

Looking at the map, I'd be tempted to go west if I were in Houston/Galveston. Dallas looks "in the way" as the storm tracks north.

Rain bands here in Orlando off and on all morning.
There goes our string of about three weeks without rain.
