God Bless everyone close to Galveston, Texas City, etc....hope you get out quickly and safely..and have somewhere to go. We've called and almost all lodging is booked clear up to Oklahoma. If any of you are also having to stay, please try and be as prepared as you can....water, fill your tubs, food, as much as you can now. My prayers are for all of us to get thru this alive and safe....to meet again here later on a much happier note!

If it is real bad, I would look into a vertical evacuation. I have no clue if that is available in your area, but sometimes the higher up you are the better. In NOLA the vast majority of the hotels sustained little damage becuase they are 200 MPH proof windows.
Good luck and get plenty of supplies. Also, if you have an old landline phone that does not have to be plugged in to an AC outlet, get that out as they can work sometimes when there is no power.
