My son and his wife left Alvin to come to Beaumont to escape from Hurricane Rita at 8:00 p.m. tonight thinking they would miss most of the Galveston traffic trying to evacuate. I just spoke to him (3:00 a.m.) and they haven't even made it to Baytown which is thirty minutes from their house. When they do finally make it to Baytown, it's another hour drive to get here to Beaumont.
The latest on the storm says it has taken the northerly turn earlier then expected and Galveston is now the target. So, tomorrow, we might be evacuating from Beaumont with the rest of the family which will be bad since we've already been up all night.
So, if you don't hear from me until Sunday, don't be shocked. We'll probably be with relatives in Lafayette.
(By the way, since I started blogging in October of last year, I haven't missed a single day of posting something even if it was just a cartoon. I sure hate to break my streak. Stupid storm.)

Get out, stay safe, holding good thoughts for ya
I'm glad to hear that you aren't going to try and ride it out. I don't know what I would do without my morning fix of Miss New Orleans. Stay safe and I'll read you on the other side.
OMG Laurie I'm so glad you're leaving. My mom and brother are on their way here to Baton Rouge. My dad has to work. I'm freaking out.
Laurie, you should leave today. It looks to me that Friday will become problematic way before the eye of this bitch comes ashore. Be safe. You and yours are in our thoughts.
You haven't missed a day? Wow! I miss a couple here and there, but try not to.
Stay safe!
Take care!
Al, Ed, Jen, Sophmom, Dr. Sauce, Ariadnek - Thanks everyone. Jen, take care, I hear Baton Rouge is getting some bad weather and same goes for you Dr. Sauce.
Laurie,
Congratulations on hardly missing a day. You are a blogger par excellence.
Wang Chi - Thanks, dude.
