Umm... NOT a good idea at this point. Galveston is well within the cone for a direct hit.

Not quite sure about the facts...but, i think she will need a special sticker to get back in, only those who work or live there will be allowed in.

I know someone planning to fly into Houston on Friday afternoon.

I politely suggested to his spouse that he might want to reconsider those plans...

The decision may be made for him... no airline is going to send people deliberately into a hurricane.

Yup, no one is being allowed on the island after 6PM tomorrow, unless they have verifiable proof that they are essential UTMB employees, law enforcement, or other stuff like that.

In short - tourists need to head elsewhere.

I hope he gets to visit us sometime in the future. :)
