Evacuation
Last post for a while. Hearing horror stories of people spending 6 hours to travel 2 miles is not very comforting. On the plus side, there is still about 24 hours before the first storm bands hit so hopefully I'll be in Austin by then. They did open all southbound lanes to northbound traffic, so they essentially doubled the number of lanes. So instead of 2 miles in 6 hours, it's gonna be 4 miles....I am pretty much expecting all my windows to be completely destroyed. I might lose the roof in which case the entire second floor would also be destroyed. The expectation is a loss of power for 12-14 days. Wish us luck!

That's an exaggeration. I saw on the news that most people were able to travel 8 miles in 6.5 hours. Were you able to board up windows or cover up things? Hopefully the damage to your house won't be too bad. When the hurricane hit the cottage a while back, the cottage itself was fine, although the nearby trees got owned.
Good luck! And now aren't you glad you bought that powerful gaming laptop?
Stay safe out there!
