No, that's only in the areas close to the Gulf that are prone to storm surge. Galveston and the areas southeast of Houston are most vulnerable. I'm in Houston proper. The Mayor of Houston essentially told us "If you're not in the mandatory evacuation zone, stay put!" The adage is "run from the water, hide from the wind." Where I live, they're predicting the maximum sustained winds to be in the low Category 1 range.

There was a gas panic rush here, yesterday in SC. Rumors were going around that gas was about to spike to $5/gallon because of concerns about the threatened refineries, and suddenly there were long lines at every station in the city I work. Gas was sold-out by the time I got off. I commute about 26 miles, so I was sweating a very low tank until I got home. Luckily, I made it, and the stations in my town still had gas as well.
These things really have a ripple effect, don't they? I really hate to see the panicking herd mentality that surrounds these kinds of things.

BTW, I've learned that the best source for information about hurricanes is, by far, the National Hurricane Center.
Here in Houston, the Houston Chronicle has been most reliable, especially Eric Berger, their science blogger ("The SciGuy").

The wind is starting to pick up. No rain in Southwest Houston yet. I'm way out of the storm surge area, so don't let the pics you've seen on TV of Galveston scare you about me.
Has anyone heard from Klordny (Michael)? I think he lives in an evacuation zone. Quiet Darkness lives not far from me (although we've only met once and that was at SDCC), so she's not in an evacuation zone.
We'll just hope for the best.

So bad, Quis.
Headline News and The Weather Channel were showing footage of the wind damage done to the Hilton Hotel. ! Hunker down and stay safe, Rocky! ( for Hyvvie, too. )
