My relatives only made it 50 miles in 12 hours today to get out of Houston, and they are frustrated, and turning back.


trying to reach them is near to impossible .....

WHAT??? Why would they go back? I understand it being frustrating..but there's a big arse hurricane on it's way!!!!!

and stay in a hotel for the night....

You weren't actually going to tell them that?

althom said:

I thought he meant for them to keep going forward.....here.

I should have known.....

bluesbaby said:

That IS what I meant!!

They are all back in Houston.....what took them roughly 12 hours to make north, they made back in two.


I'm scared they are staying put.

bluesbaby said:

Where in Houston are they, blues? Is the whole of the city being evacuated?

2the9s said:

I don't know where, exactly..... I am not from there....

My uncle and my sister in law live in Houston,they are still there.
Some people have run out of gas on the freeway and they are stuck
The only place that has mandatory evacuation is Galveston

I hope we dont have to go anywhere,the traffic is gonna be hell

hopefully houston won't get the full hit of the storm. a levee in New Orleans has failed.


I we all get though this safe and sound.
