All I can say now is I feel for you poor bastards. I hope you all make it.
Here is Tampa they make all highways going north one way. They close all south lanes and use them as northbound lanes also. Everyone gets out. Can not belive they do not do that in TX.

I believe they do do that in Texas, prayers for all you guys. The Texans can handle this, hardy bunch, self reliant.

20 foot storm surge, and then add the waves on top of that. If you're heading to your attic, make sure you take an ax to cut your way out the roof. Galveston has been labeled "Certain Death by Drowning" for those who stayed...

Almost midnight and still have power on the northwest side of Houston. Still waiting for the worst but grateful for still having AC. Trying to sleep in a hot muggy house sucks.
