Hey - I've only been in Houston (actually The Woodlands) for 11 years and have never gone through one of these. Unfortunately I'm having a difficult time trying to convince people (the family, friends) that we need to bolt.

Right now it looks like the path will be about 125 miles to the west so we're on the bad side of the storm. I live in a forest of extremely tall pine trees that I can see coming down on my "now-I-can't-believe-how-many-windows-I-have" house. Also my town ran out of gas and propane (as far as I can tell) tonight but I was able to fill up both cars (I picked up all kinds of supplies last night).

Here's another delimma: I'm expected to drive to the Galleria tomorrow for work. Seems wrong to drive towards the people evacuating from Galveston doesn't it? And I'm wasting gas that would be used from evacuating! Man, lots to think about...

Cantore and Steve Lyons: "unlikely to be a category 4 at landfall, likely strong category 3..hard to get category 4 landfalls, the 4-5 strengthening usually only lasts for a day or day 1/2"

Does Park & Ride go to the Galleria?

I lived off Westheimer 2 miles west of the Galleria when I live in Houston.

Were those "...." a pause while you were waiting to sneeze? Sounds like you might have a cold coming on.
