Quote: From the very beginning, this storm had me worried for our area. I've been watching it like a hawk from the beginning and it has done everything I expected it to do thus far. On Monday, I booked 3 rooms at a Crowne Plaza in Dallas. With the "officials" reporting non-stop that it WILL hit the Texas Coast, I hesitated heading for Dallas. This morning, I went ahead and cancelled my reservations because it would take probably 24 hours + to get there due to all the Texans evacuating. I have 3 children that would get extremely cross if we are stuck in traffic for that long. I will watch the storm through the night. If my feeling is correct, this storm will head straight for us or very close. If it does not get weaker, we will probably head out in the very early morning and drive towards Gattlinburg, TN. Everything I have told my In-Laws since this weekend has come to pass so they are packing up and heading up that way this afternoon. You are a little closer to the gulf than I am. It would probably be a good idea if you boarded up and headed elsewhere, just to be safe!! They have just announced that we are now in Hurricane Warning...actually hurricane warning up to Morgan City, La. |
