My husband was upset with me when I didn't leave Houston early on Wednesday--the traffic was a nightmare by that afternoon. He decided we'd go to Jackson, MS, and stay with his oldest son and his family, so we got here early Thursday morning.
I didn't realize how difficult it would be to drive off from everything you own!
We had very little traffic troubles at 11:30 at night. We drove through Beaumont and Lake Charles--not realizing they were going to be hit. We'll have to go home through Shreveport. It seems we're gonna have to take back roads.
Two friends who stayed in the Crosby area checked our house and said everything was perfect, but there's no electricity. One friend said she saw broken windows on the main street of our neighborhood, though. She said her un-insured barn took a big hit, but she and her five kids were fine. Looks like we may still need to find a generator.
Just made it back from Home Depot. I45 & Beltway S. to fix my downed gate. I have never seen more generators in all my life.
