I live between Conroe and Hempstead. It looks like  the eye will pass 
over ,my house with winds about 65 mph.

I started to drive fown to Tomball after lunch.About 3 blocks outside of 
town I noticed the string of bumper to bumper cars going the other way. 
Suddenly it dawned om me it would be easy to get down but 3 to 4 hours 
to come the 16 miles back. Took the first U turn and hunkered down at 
the house.

I think the constables directing traffic cause most of the bottle necks.

Daughter tells me that there is no tuna, potted meats, water chips   on 
  the shelves.
