Re: Tropical Depression Eighteen Forms East of the Bahamas

Guess that is the best thing (focus on Florida) to do but if one lives in Texas it would be a good thing to know what the storm might do. five days out.
Houston would be very difficult to evacuate. Doesn't hurt to have a plan just incase. Here in Southeast Texas we have a pretty
good evacuation plan in place. We evacuated a few years ago for Lilli (fortunately she turned at the last minute). But
still evacuations take time. Plus we have 16,000 new residents because of Katrina. I guess that is why I am interested in what this
storm might do down the road. I live on the coast plus I have family in Houston. So just want to be prepared...just in case.
