Hey folks, great site you have here.

I'm a newbie who---drumroll---made the failed attempt to evacuate from Houston (I'm in west-central Houston) to the east very early this morning (at that time, I thought I was safe in doing so), turned back due to lack of gas, and now am getting worried that this storm will move more west than north and plow over my city.

Anyways, I love all of your conjecture and info. I'm learning quite a bit in an abstract sense, but for all practical purposes youse guys are scaring the crap out of me with the discussion about the westward jog(s).

Ugh.
