When I stopped for gas I heard it could get as strong as a category 5 and I decided to go to the campus and find out what their plan was. Well, needless to say I didn't move in. I stayed in the city that night and got out first thing in the morning. I never felt any effects of the storm on the trip, but it's really sobering to see the devastation after I was there that morning. I was supposed to be there that day. Now I don't know when TU will open.
I've heard I'll know in the next 72 hours, but it doesn't matter that much. What's important is the safety of everyone else in and around the city.

jdlea -
It absolutely slipped my mind that you were headed down there. I glad you are OK.
You've got the right attitude about getting back there. When it happens, it happens - the people in and around that are have to come first.
