    Worse, wife's got the Tahoe now and I have a Dodge Ram, with the HEMI! Buying gas sucks! $74 last time.

    Hey JSE,

    Glad to hear you folks made it through unscathed. When they reported it was heading towards Houston, I was wondering if you were going to brave the traffic or brave the storm. I'm relieved to hear you and yours made it through OK.

    Thanks guys!

    No way in hell I was going to get out in that traffic. My wife's secretary went from Fresno (45 min. south of Houston) to Tyler (1hr east of Dallas) and it took her 23 hours. It's normally about a 4 1/2 hour trip. They ran out of gas in traffic and a family stopped and gave them some. As I mentioned earlier, my wife's boss went from Houston to Austin (about 3 hrs tops) and it took him 16 hrs. 12 of those hours were just getting out of the greater Houston area. As of today about 20% of the gas stations have gas and the resulting long lines of vehicles. Grocery stores are open but they are pretty bare. No produce, milk, chips, water, soft drinks, etc. Plenty of frozen foods though.

    Most of our friends are crazy like us and stuck it out. We got off easy but it clearly could have been a lot worse. I actually cooked some really good Ribs Friday night before the storm really hit. The grill almost blew over but my buddy was lightning fast and grapped it in a full dive and never spilled a drop of beer. It was right out of a beer commercial.
