I'm off of Grant, about halfway between Louetta and Spring-Cypress.
It looks to be maybe 5~6 miles east of Carlucci.
We evacuated the wimmin and children last night (see #462) so it's just me, by brothers, the pets (2 cats + 1 dog) and one doddling sister-in-law who are left.
Looks like we're gonna skidaddle sometime late this afternoon or evening.
We're tentatively heading east to Lake Charles, but that's subject to change as we get more detailed information throughout the day.
Update: the wimmin and children made it to Lake Charles OK,
But now they're executing "Plan B" and evacuating north to stay with friends of my sister-in-law's family. At least they're out of the congested Houston area traffic.
My one brother decided it was idiotic to fight traffic to go to work for a halfday, so he's home taking care of finishing touches on his home. His wife (the sister-in-law who stayed) still has to work at the bank until 7, but hopefully might get out earlier.
The other brother just stopped by. He's still planning on stopping in at the office. (He's the boss, so if nothing else, he has to be there to tell the employees to leave by noon.) The good news there is that he doesn't commute very far to work, so even with heavy traffic, he should be able to get back before my sister-in-law gets out of the bank. Looks like we're probably headed NW to get out of the direct path. Coworker of first brother home has ranch in "Hill Country" (wherever the hell that is) has a guest home where we can stay.
Options are under constant review as information develops.
I hope you are not going to Lake Charles anymore. They will be taking a direct hit.
