Last-Minute Evacuation?

HWY 59 has cleared and we are working on making plans to leave Houston this morning. We can get 300 miles or more on the gas currently in our family car, and news is that gas supplies are beginning to get delivered to surrounding areas.

My father-in-law is planning on stopping in East Texas (he'll get awfully wet this weekend). My family is still wanting to get across the border, to central AR. As long as the roads are clear and we can find just one gas station in operation, we can do it.

Gotta go see to plans. The link below has become especially important to me in the past 5 minutes:
