If you can ship the dogs over here, I can take care of them. (Or, is it to late?)
Blam, do you know if I-10 is passable down to Gulf Shores? My parents have a condo on Ft. Morgan Road and I'm thinking maybe we could head that way, but I don't know if we could make it from Houston.
I appreciate it, blam, but it's too late. We're mandatorily evacuating about 1.5 million people. I'd guess that another million are leaving, too. Just among my friends and co-workers it's about 80% leaving, but I doubt it's anywhere that high for the folks in the poorer neighborhoods.
I'm not even counting the coastal communities that would be hit the hardest and are probably the most motivated to leave.
I don't think I could get to work if I wanted to tomorrow. I'd have to cross a major evacuation route. Fortunately, my company sent me home at noon today with some phone numbers to find out when the office will re-open. Cell phones are already worthless in Houston and the storm won't be here in earnest for 48 hours.
