Unfortunately, evacuations are likely on the way

[HoopInsider_Cooper]

It looks as if Galveston County and parts of Harris County could begin special needs evac and voluntary tomorrow (Tuesday) with a mandatory on Wednesday.

Southeast Texas will follow the same suit, special needs Wednesday and mandatory Thursday in preparations for a Category 4 hurricane on late Friday/early Saturday.

IF evacuations are called please follow: Harris County evac routes

(Contra flow):

The following freeways will be activated for contra flow if/when a mandatory evacuation is ordered…Galveston County is the lead in the mandatory evacuation in coordination with HGAC.

I-45: Begin contra flow at SH 242 N of The Woodlands.

US 290: Begin contra flow at SH 6/FM 1960…Note outbound shoulder lane will be used as a traffic lane to provide 3 outbound lanes on the outbound side and 2 outbound lanes on the inbound side.

I-10: Begin contra flow at FM 359.

Is there any chance that Ike keeps traveling West?  That would be a dream come true!

[KFDM COOP]

Slight chance! Just pray!

Looks like I will be going fishing on Thursday at the ranch then after driving up Wednesday night!!!

Just started a new job today also!!!!

[Piratediehard]

COOP is headed for the hills!!! I guess that tells us something ;D we might want to go also...

[TheCardinalFan]

I was hoping to scare away any chance of a storm coming by leaving the boards on my windows from last week.  I guess it just saved me the labor of having to put themback up.

Good Luck everyone! Be smart, leave early and avoid traffic if at all possible.

[Lazeek]

Coop don't leave then that means we will have to listen to JB for the weather!!!! ;D
