If anyone can get at least 200 miles North of where the best guess that the storm will be making landfall, please do so. When Hurricane Jeanne hit Ft Pierce last Sept 26 at 120-125 mph we were 60 miles inland as the crow flies and it nailed us at the same approx wind velocity, and continued on its destruction through central Florida and out the West coast. Please try to get way out of the continued path of the storm unless there are high elevations like Mountains to slow the storm down and break it up there will be terrible destruction similar to where it first had landfall. I don't know if that part of Texas has Mountains or not, I hope so because Florida's terrain is mostly flat and did not stop much at all.

That's Dallas. I-45 will be a parking lot going north, starting tomorrow. It would be wiser to hit I-10, then take the highway at Columbus (I forget the designation), go into Austin, then head up I-35.

I just checked Expedia. There are still lots of hotel rooms available in Fort Worth and Dallas. A large number of the evacuees have been moved into apartments, so the hotels are open, particularly in Fort Worth.
