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.
Depending on traffic, that may be too late. Get them out tonight, if you can.
recon just found 152 knot winds...not sure where but if its at flight level that's 160MPH surface winds..it may be lower then flight level which would mean lesser winds at the surface then 160..would be 140MPH if they were flying at 1000ft instead of flighlevel
