I actually spent many hours attempting to evacuate to Otting,TX and the Texas Elks Summer Camp that sits Just behind the San Marcos River and at one endof Palmetto State Park. I help to support this effort each year. The Camp is closed in the off-season but partially staffed. I was meeting several evacuee friends who are camp supports too. I Left at about 3:00 pm yesterday the 21st. I only got to the I-10 Campbell Rd. exit at about 4 a.m. the 22nd. Exhausted I pulled off the road and slept in my truck until I was fit to drive again. I came home at about 11:30 am.

(When I couldn't find any gas, my fear of being stranded coupled with the new storm coordinates, tracking somewhat to the east made my decision for me. I came back to the Galveston Bay Area (Kemah). I did try to get a room over in the Campbell Rd. area but I had (Ralph's) cat with me and got turned away over and over.)

Bell, if the freeways clear and you want to make a run for it, head up to our house close to Conroe/Woodlands. If you can get up to 290 W, I can give you directions to our house.

We have a nice guest room. ;-)

FReepmail for phone #.

Where are you now?

Well I bugged out at 9pm Wed. I'm in Ft. Worth staying with a friend.

Wish you would consider going up to Pearland at least.

Gulfbreeze and family are safe in Destin, FL. They left out Wednesday and drove East on I-10 after finding some back road routes through Baytown. I don't know if he'll get a chance to get on-line and check in himself, so I posted this to let folks know he was ok.

Bellstar is riding the hurricane out in Kemah, taking photos of the flooding and damage. She is sticking close to the Kemah cops, so if they deem it too dangerous they will make sure she gets to higher ground.
