It's been a while since I lived there, but what are the chances of them turning all the I-10 lanes westbound out of town all the way to Houston? It doesn't sound like it will happen today, but maybe tomorrow? The outer bands should start hitting by then, and maybe it will sink in.
Of course, it may hit Mobile too, and I'd look like an idiot, but better safe than sorry.
I don't know how far the contra flow will be implemented, but am willing to bet that it will be instituted by sometime tomorrow.
Hey, leave us out of this...we've had our share.
