Re: waited too long...

sigh.. we're on 290 and would head toward Austin.. but it will have to ease
a whole lot soon for us to leave. Been thru a few storms myself (cat 2s
and barely 3s)... and was home 2 days after Hugo to help Mum and Dad. Not
looking forward to this, but it does look as if we'll be on the lesser side
of the storm. if indeed she stays on the track she is taking now... don't
really want a detour at this point. Gonna pack 3 adults, 3 kids and 3 dogs
in a bathroom... should be interesting, eh?? better in a brick house than
stuck on the interstate in a truck though.

You take care too! The 4th is Killer Bees if everything goes well with
Rita... see ya there?
