Man I hate flying debris, it mars my finish.
I'm seeing on the news all the freeways plugged up.
I think it may already be too late to leave. Houston is a big parking lot right now. I've heard people are running out of gas on the freeway and a lot of the service stations are low on fuel.
Also, my wife is considered "essential personel" at her job. Part of the curse of information technology is everyone expects you to back up their stuff while they're bugging on out. In fact, someone just called from her work asking for some software disks that are worth maybe $100. She may even have to go in tomorrow, so we're stuck here for now. By tomorrow we should know better the track of the storm.
My elderly grandmother is already being evacuated as we speak by friends of the family. They're working with some paid home care workers to get a number of home and bed-ridden old folks out of Brazoria county. Hopefully, it won't be too scary for her. She gets to ride with some friends and she has her poodle with her, too. I would go down and get some of her things from the house, but I don't think the DPS will let me into Lake Jackson at this point.
