No. folks for La have evacuated TO Houston. Many of the hotels are full.

One sad report is a family left La with reservations for two rooms and because they didn't get there in time due to the 5 mph traffic, bumper to bumper, their rooms were released to someone else.

Although I thought IF you gave a cc they would hold your rooms???

I guess in case of national disasters it is first come first serve.

During Katrina I evacuated to Atlanta and what should have been a 6 hour trip was approx. 16 hours and only premium fuel available. I decided next time to stay and weather it out. so to speak.

Just heard from a friend in Orange TX. They are under mandatory evacuation and decided to leave. They left 2 hours ago and have traveled 20 miles!!!!!!! They hope to make Austin sometime tonight.

Yes, Orange County, Jefferson County, and Hardin County all are under mandatory evacuation. We however, are not heeding that. We don't think it is necessary as the storm has down graded PLUS it is going further east than originally predicted.

Our church prayed today that this hurricane would just fall apart out in the Gulf. I'm sure we are not the only ones praying that.
