NOON, Thursday 22 September... Reverse Decision
By noon, models begin to show landfall east of Galveston with inland hurricane warnings through east Texas. This not only puts us on the clean side of the storm, but puts my evacuation route and refuge in harm's way.
Continuing monitoring of traffic conditions reveal a continuing impossibility of getting out of Houston, no matter which path is selected. Gasoline is hard to come by along the routes, and there are stranded motorists everywhere. It is taking people 24-33 hours to make it to Nacogdoches from the Houston area.
After mulling the situation over, I reach the decision to shelter in place.
I call my aunt to break the news to her. By that time, she has heard of the horrors of traffic, as well as the lack of gas enroute.
