Hi Carolyn, et al, Well, my son never made it out. Talking about being prepared! Houston was not, seems it is not better than New Orleans. People hit the hiways and they were packed. My son tried several times and could not even get on it. It took them forever to open up the other side of the hiway to be used going out. He has now taken refuge with his family in their church, which is a metal building and they hope it can take the onslaught better. But heaven help them if it folds! My son described the highways as huge parking lots. Rather than being helped they pass out food and water to those stuck on the Hiway. Lee Brown chose to stay as well as he already told you. Cell phones might not work much longer and that is basically all the communication I have with with Marti and his family. Being worried is an understatement. Liane Fossland Home of Ch.
