My son evacuated to Longview...that's as far as his gas tank would take him. They were fortunate enough to get a hotel room somewhere. He has a 8 mos old little girl, so he felt obligated to leave to protect her. I don't see how anyone can ride this out in tents...God Bless them all....and all the poor poor families that have tried to get out and are stuck on the side of the roads.
