Just got off the phone with my parents. They will be leaving their double-wide in Sheridan, TX (60 miles north of Matagorda Bay) early in the morning to drive here to stay with us in Tennessee. Yes, that's a long drive just for an evacuation, but it's also a good excuse for a family visit.

My Dad is too tired to leave tonight, he just got back from Matagorda Bay, where he was helping a neighbor board up his beach house (my Dad agrees with me that it probably won't be there once the storm passes through, anyway, but at least they've done what they can for it...). They have a small car, a 2-seat Honda Del Sol, but will also be carrying a dog and two cats with them.
