They called a mandatory evacuation about noon today @ home so I threw my mother in the car and made a 3 hour trip in only 5 hours. I couldn't see staying around for 12 hours of 75 MPH hour winds (sustained)and probability of no electricity for a week or two.
I'm in College Station at my brother's. He has no pine trees.
I'm relaxed here and hope I made the trip in vain.
