re: It was supposed to hit in the Galveston area, but wound up going in at Brownsville. A lot of people evacuated from Houston and Galveston, most heading for San Antonio and Austin. Guess where the remnants of Allen dragged a bunch of tornadoes? Several motels stuffed with evacuees were hit. Andrew was the same. It was supposed to hit the Keys, so all these people brought their boats up north... Bam! Charlie was my wake up call. A nice cat 2 and projected to stay that way with the projected path exactly over my house. Just short of my evacuation threshold. Then 4 hours away, it suddenly bombs to a category 4 as we watch on TV; way to late to run. You know you are about to go through hell, probably lose everything you own, and if very unlucky your life. At best many hours of adrenalin fear huddled in a hallway; then walking out to see what's left of your life. Everyone is walking around the 'hood with a zombie look going WTF do we do now? Then, just as suddenly, and unpredicted, it turns right and blasts Punta Gorda and beyond. Poor SOBs never knew what hit them, never even thought of evacuation. We got a little rain and breeze.
