We are still stocked up from what we didn't use during Katrina. We were told to expect no power for 3 weeks. We got power back in 3 days, so we have a ton of water, dry goods etc ready to go. I really think this is going to hit Southern Texas, but am not taking chances until it passes us by.
You bet they should and I might even leave ANYWAY ... just in case. Better safe than sorry.
