I am not getting out. I prayed about it last night and really have a peace about staying. I have 4 small kids and 1 on the way. My main concern is for them and was going to leave for San Antonio at 4 a.m. this morning. The only concern I had last night was the traffic. People are running out of gas and cannot find it anywhere. It will be over 100 degrees today and there are going to be a lot of cars overheat. I think this would be worse for my family.
Traffic has been a nightmare to say the least. My brother turned around after going 10 miles in 2 1/2 hours. After seeing the model go to the east more, NW Harris County will be out of the worst of it. The scariest thing was being in the dirty side of the hurricane and that was the forecast last night. Now it looks like it will go to the east. The weather forecaster said we could expect 70 mph sustained winds and a lot of rain. My house will be able to handle this. I went through Alicia and we had 55-65 mph winds in my part of town.

I am praying protection over my children.

It pains me to read posts like this....quite honestly, noone knows where this storm is going to hit...and this storm is the 3rd most powerful storm ever seen in the Atlantic basin....and houston is darn near ground zero.

You have over 24 hours before the first effects of this storm are felt. IMO, staying put is not the wisest decision. I feel for your children....

ContemptofCourt. Thank you for your concern but I know what I am doing. You have to understand where I live. I am not in the voluntary or mandatory evacuation area. I am NW of Houston in Cypress ( http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?searchtype=address&country=US&addtohistory=&location=lMAJSMlre4z8DgZNYHAc8CJtyiXxjY87ayW31%2fs3aIrTv%2btcbcLpH9O%2binVaPV2%2biLuzOWO3eWamgdV2Ux2sO7Zj266yhG%2fe

Channel 11 just said the track has changed and it is headed more for Beaumont. Praise the Lord!!
