Try contacting the folks south of I-20 out towards Brownwood and San Angelo too. They may be able to help you. And (in spite of my joke) some of the roads up towards San Angelo from I-10 were good years ago when I traveled them.
I watched the satellite loop on NOAA just now. To say the least, it was bemusing. I'm not sure if they have the feed messed up or what. It looked like she jogged west, southeast, and then north quite a ways.
We've sent a lot out that way. You know, everybody in these little towns has kinfolk in some of the other little towns, so by word of mouth we were able to find accomodations for everybody that actually stopped in to ask for help at city hall, the power company office (it's right on the highway) or the cafes.
All in all it was a good day. As some of the folks on this thread have said, all the folks were really in good spirits albeit needful of help. Everybody was just friendly and talkative so I had an enjoyable time talking to 'em.
