You need to read and listen...this storm is all about size and water surge--not about wind. Portions of Galveston are already flooded now. Galveston is forecast to be totally under water tonight.
Believe me, I know what it is like when faced with the evacuation decision. This may be the only time in your life when it is a really sensible time to bug out.
There is NO water in my area yet, not a drop. That’s why I reported the wind as someone earlier asked me to do. There are tons of people posting here that are 10 miles from me. I’ve evacuated many times and many times not. I’ve lived within 40 miles of the Gulf Coast all of my 55 years.
We discussed this already. She’s “in the orange” of the map linked Post#51, and is aware of the surge factor.
Thinks other environmental factors in her immediate area are favorable.
I don’t know any more than that. It’s a tough call - she’s made it for herself, and seems to have all the knowledge taken into account. It’s up to her... like I said, I’m just happy jpsb seems gone - he, I’d be deathly afraid for.
