Thank you, Mama Bear. We may take off tomorrow evening..I have a home in Waco.. I just read Waco is going to get tree toppling winds ..(so much for a complete escape!). The highways look like a parking lot right now..Many, many evacuees are coming from the coast and flood prone areas..to escape to safer environs..
This is my first hurricane...and it is a big one. Twelve hours in a closet isn't my idea of how to ride it out. I prefer going into an area farther away.
I think that is an excellent idea! Keep us posted as long as you can.
I have been through a hurricane when I was a little kid, on Guam (technically it was a "typhoon"). We had to evacuate to higher ground, but to us kids it was just a big adventure. I'm sure my parents saw it as something much more than an adventure, though. LOL
Take care Meg. Hope your home, family and friends stay safe.!
