Voluntary evacuation!

Well just because so much can change in the next 2 days we have decided to evacuate for sure. With the potential of cat 3/4 at landfall and such, it makes no sense to stay. Here is the current posting from our local Fox Houston news
Galveston County
Mandatory evacuation for west end of Galveston Island including Jamaica Beach, as well as Bolivar Peninsula, San Leon, Bacliff, Bayou Vista, Omega Bay, Tiki Island, Dickinson, Kemah and Clear Lake Shores
  • Voluntary evacuation for the rest of the county
  • Voluntary evacuation for League City residents
  • Galveston Island State Park has begun a mandatory evacuation of campers and planned to have the park shut down by Wednesday evening.
  • Boliver Ferry Closes 11 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 11
  • Hitchcock ISD
  • Friendswood ISD- Until Sept. 12
  • Clear Creek ISD-- Extra-curricular activities canceled Thursday; closed Friday
  • La Marque ISD--Closed Friday, Sept. 12, activities canceled Thursday-Saturday, Sept. 11-12
  • College of Mainland-- Closed from noon Thursday, Sept. 11- Sunday, Sept. 14
  • Texas City ISD-- Closed Thursday, Sept. 11-Saturday, Sept. 13
So in the next 24 hours we will be preparing the house with boards, getting clothes and other things packed and head out as soon as we can. I will try and post again before we disconnect the computer either tonight or in the AM.
