We were thinking we might be harboring our own hurricane refugee by now. Our son-in-law left Webster this morning at 1 am and started up the Interstate. By 9 am he had only got as far as Spring, barely north of Houston. He has an aunt there so he stopped to rest. I am not sure what the plans are now. I hear that Interstate 45 is a parking lot.

His wife, the youngest daughter is safe in their new home in Huntsville, Alabama. She transferred to a new job there last month while her husband stayed back home to wrap things up and pack up the household. So he is not just evacuating he is moving. His plan all along had been to drive to Alabama over this weekend but things got rushed a bit. This will probably become an interesting story told to the grandkids some day.

Update: After resting up, he jogged over to Lufkin and made his way up through East Texas to I20 and is now in Alabama.
