If you are in the path of this storm, please sign in here, so that the rest of us can keep track of our "displaced" friends and family.
And when you return, remember to sign in, as we will be looking for you!
We're at William Trace and Hwy 6.
Checking in from Katy. It's REALLY not looking good for Katy, so I'm heading out with the kids and the dog this afternoon. Husband is going to stay and finish preparations in the house and head out early in the morning. Does any have a suggestion as whether I should take the beltway to the north or the south. Thanks.
You know what I just remembered? We need to tell people to give somebody their home and cell numbers because THEY might not be able to call OUT, but people might be able to get them, remember?
(I've been dying to use kitty for some time now...lol!)
Sinkspur maybe can answer that.
See how obliging I am? :-)
Ok, checking in. I just got back from the 290 area and it's backing up. Gas stations around the NW loop are out of unleaded and the girl told me gas deliveries have been stopped...this was at Shamrock. They're selling unlead plus for the same price as leaded. Kroger is an absolute mad house.
This is beginning to freak me out.
Can you barracade an interior room?
You're staying?
Thanks for the ping ONYX, we will be staying, if I lose phone dialup will contact my Freeper son via cell phone who lives in Portland our situation so he can report. Y'all keep your powder dry and any Houston Freepers still looking for generators please contact me. Just got a deal on one for us.
Ah dirtboy - thanks so much for the family humor in the midst of mayhem
He's in the medical field and works at the VA Hospital down there. Busy prepping patients for possible evacuations.
Forgot to say where I was going. We're going to stay with my family in Prairieville (suburb of Baton Rouge).
We're fairly close to you -- Williams Trace at Lexington in Sugarwood.
Sounds good! Be safe, and well!
I'm going to Ausin, and I'm taking my computers with me.
Why would you even consider taking the Beltway south? What's your final destination?
Moab, St. George, Cedar City, Salt Lake City, That one.
Zion N.P., Arches N.P., Canyonlands N.P., Capitol Reef N.P., Bryce Canyon N.P. and the newest Escalante N.Mon.
Fall colors are on in the mountains if you come up.
I am west of downtown in Montrose.
Please sign in over here and check back in when the storm is over.
