South Texas/Coastal Bend folks (IKE)

[LH Panther Mom]

If any of you are planning to evacuate, and are having trouble finding available motel/hotel/lodging, wimbo_pro had made reservations at a hotel in Wimberley for family members in Houston, just in case Ike made landfall there. The reservations are from Thursday through Monday. He will need to let the rooms go by Thursday, so if you are in need of a place to stay, please send him a pm.

All updates on the situation can be found on this thread in the "non-sports" forum.

It ESPECIALLY applies to a fellow dude in need of a nag-free weekend. Bring the beer, I'll bring the pizza.

Woo hoo! Its on! BTW, last Wimberly game I went to was Liberty Hill at Wimberly two yrs ago, I slept in my car in the parking lot at the stadium. Good times indeed.

Wimberely is probably not the best place to evacuate to. After Ike makes landfall it is expected to turn Northeast. They were predicting it would head to San Antonio. And inland there always seem to be more tornadic activity during a hurricane. I would head west to Laredo. Do you have any reservations in Boy's Town in Nuevo Laredo?

My employer Toshiba was giving us employees free hotel rooms for family in SA, but the catch was i had to work and on Saturday at time and half :doh:. that is crazy putting the evacuatees to work:crazy:

Buccaneer makes a valid and well-thought-out point. He has summed up our risks and our options in one timely post. I salute you for your wisdom, my friend Bucaneer. I agree with the Boystown hiatus completely.

However, my wife thinks you are a pervert and will not allow me to go to Boystown with you or anywhere else that you might suggest. She now questions my participating on this board.

She should be reading G2's posts if Buc concerns her. :eek: :eek:

Most of the computer models are showing paths up the coast from Corpus, from Port Lavaca all the way to western La. Best guesses are from Port Lavaca to Houston/Galveston. Predictions are saying Austin/ Round Rock and east are in for it probably late Saturday night/early Sunday. They are expecting this storm to spawn a lot of tornadic activity over land.

The Houston relatives may actually need reservations, but it would be better if they were in San Angelo or Laredo.

Or maybe Louisiana!

I believe Ike is a 3A fan and will visit Palacios!

I imagine that since the UT/Ark game has been postponed, there will be quite a few rooms become available in the Austin area starting probably tomorrow.

Good point.

[wimbo_pro]

The rooms have now been taken by my family/friends from the Houston area. Though it has been quite a ride, it turns out I was right about needing the rooms afterall!!! They are no longer laughing at me for getting the rooms last Monday. I will make them buy dinner.
