What we did was make the reservations 120 hours out just in case but we didn't leave until 3 in the morning on Friday and the storm
hit around 3 in the morning on Saturday. You can't really make plans two or three days out because you might not have a place
to go (unless you go to family then you are okay). So make reservations early. You can always cancel them. That is the most impor-
tant thing. Another thing, make sure you take flashlights. Rita tracked right through Lufkin as a Cat 1 (she hit here as a Cat 3) and
so power was out for a day in Lufkin. Take lots of food and water with you. If it is a Cat 3 or higher, leave if you can.
