Run on the bank.....

I just took a journey out to try to get us lunch.... Jack in the Box was abandoned.... then I noticed a lot of places were closed up tight. I ended up going to Krogers and just getting some sandwich fixins..... Then I decided to go to the bank. The first branch I visited was limiting withdrawls to $200... Great! So I sat thru traffic and went to another branch.... OMG... The line in the lobby came out the front door.... the line in the drive-thru was about 6 cars deep in abround 10 lanes.... I finally got my turn and they are at a $500 limit.... To get lunch and money from the bank took me about 2 hours.... The freeways are parking lots.... this town is going nuts! Anyway- I am going to try and get as much as I can done in the next few hours and then go to bed.... I want to try and get out of here around 1 or 2am..... Hopefully there won't be as much traffic then and if there is, I won't have to sit through 100 degree heat while sitting in it. Here's the evacuation map so far if anyone is interested.... we live in Zone C of Galveston county- required to start getting out at noon tomorrow.... God bless everybody and we'll let you know how we're doing.... We're taking a few computers with us and the folks we're staying with have cable.... so I will get to update ya'll.... Gee... this is so much fun.

I'm from Miami, and having been through Andrew and Katrina (before she roared her ugly head at LA), I can totally relate to the run to get gas, money, food and then evacuating. We also just went through that, at least the gas, food and money part yesterday when Rita passed to the south of us. I am really scared for you since it looks like it's a cat 5 now. I don't think any time is a better time to leave, I'd just leave as soon as possible. I'll be praying for you, your family, and everyone else from your area. Stay safe!!!
