We decided to leave early, so we took off on Wednesday afternoon. It looks like we would have been fine staying in the Harlingen area, but who knows what IKE will do.

They just came on CNN and said that if you stay in Galveston you will die. Storm surge will be up to 22 feet. The sea wall is only 17 feet. Glad we are already home. I had my knuckles wrapped around the door handle. People were cutting in front of us and then putting on their brakes. Had one gentlemen pulling his fifth wheel drift over into our lane when we were passing him. Thank goodness we were on the outside lane and had room to get over.

Will report on what we see once we get down in the area.
