New My sister ditched her NW Houston haven
and decided to drive to San Antonio to stay with a friend.
It took her 22 hours.
Damn. What a mess out there.
It's agonizing to sit and wait. I cant imagine what it must be like to live in the impacted area. Like a sitting duck. I'm hoping for the best for all.

New Uh, da-yamn!
It took her 22 hours.
Houston-San Antonio is normally a 3-4 hour drive (IIRC). Straight shot west on IH-10. That's infuckingsane.
