Update

..And we left.....We evacuated yesterday about noon. Jared was called into work so I spent the morning boarding our back windows by myself (and I am feeling it today). We just boarded our east facing bottom windows. Traffic was moderate. Not nearly as bad as the Rita evacuation a few years back. It took us about four hours to go 150 miles. We are staying at a church shelter in Madisonville, about 150 NW of League City.

The good news is the storm is not as strong as projected, the bad news is we are taking a direct hit. The storm swung north at the last minute hitting Galveston, we live about 20 miles inland from the Galveston coast.

We are safe, thanks for all the emails and prayers. We'll know by tomorrow of any damage. We have limited cell service and probably will not have internet for who knows how long. We might not have power at home for several days but time will tell.

Anyway SURFS UP DUDE!
