How old are they? Victoria will probably suffer extensive tree damage and some structural damage at the least. They may be looking at weeks without power. Can your parents cope with that?

They are mid-70s. Dad can, but Mom can't. I'm going to have to stage a coup, I'm afraid.

They are mid-70s. Dad can, but Mom can't. I'm going to have to stage a coup, I'm afraid.

My parents are that old as well. My thick-skulled father did little the last two days to get ready and now they might have to drive all the way to Ft. Stockton to get a hotel.

But at least they are getting ready now and will decide Thursday morning if they are going to shove off Thursday AM.
