You have to remember we have a football team here (Texas A&M Aggies) that regularly attracts about 80,000 people to home games! We got a LOT of people stopping here as they left Houston; between hotels (the game was moved from Sat. to Thursday) and shelters, the "10,000" is what the local reports were saying we were "expecting." No telling how many *actually* came, and hard to tell between friends and family putting them up, shelters and hotels! There was no gasoline to be found for awhile on Thursday, store shelves were totally emptied of stuff (bread, water, ice - two of my kids work at Apple Tree - it was horrendous!). We'll see how things go the rest of the day!
Replying to my own post - so tacky! lol
