FOLKS!!! Don't stop in Central Texas, if you have a choice. We're expecting 50-70 MPH winds up here in Dallas!! Waco, and Palestine, and Austin, and College Station are going to get pounded by even higher winds and more rain! If you can get to Arkansas or Oklahoma or further north, do it!

Utah still has some room.

If you go to Oklahoma, is that democrat hotel in Ardmore available?

Additionally, I heard the local weather guy say that once the storm passed us and moved up into to Oklahoma it will bounce back down on us the follow day ~ so very high rain falls and flooding should be anticipated.

I live in Longview. Any other reports about East Texas other than Palestine?

Is that really what they are forecasting for Dallas?

Spoke with family and friends from Corpus, Galveston, Poet Arthur, (I am from South Texas originally).

Most were headed up toward Athens. Some are going to San Antonio.

Do I understand you correctly that even there it's "Katy bar the door?"

I am a bit confused as my family, friends related that they had been told to head at least as far North-North West as San Antonio. Is there later information?

Thanks.

We are here in AUSTIN.
