The evacuation order for Galveston changes from voluntary to madatory this evening.

We're waiting til tomorrow or early Friday to decide whether to spend the weekend with friends in Austin. Meanwhile, this afternoon and tomorrow morning, we're attending talks by the Dalai Lama. Quite the busy couple of days.

P.S. Isn't it neat the way the map I posted above is updating itself?
Good luck, CG...hope you and yours come through okay...you're one of the good ones...
