We were able to get a few things done in preparation for the storm, and will be doing a few more before we leave for Houston in the morning. We have help lined up just in case. Son-in-law will probably not be needed. They are a bit far away, and he's in the Austin Fire Academy right now which is similiar to military boot camp only he gets to come home each night. Would not want him to miss any of that.

We will probably leave if a mandatory evacuation is ordered primarily because if it's that intense, we would need to get our 36' RV out of the storm's path, and emergency medical care is not guaranteed when a mandatory evac is ordered. With hubby so soon out of the procedure, we would want access to medical care, just in case. We would probably park the RV in the parking lot of a church we visit in central Texas and stay with one of our daughters either in Austin or San Antonio. Only problem is both of them live in 3rd floor walk up apartments and I'm concerned about hubby walking up those stairs. He's convinced that he will be okay if he takes it slow. I may call and reserve a hotel room just in case.
