We’re in Texas
In our last post, we had just recoved from a blown tire. We made it down to Villa Ridge, MO, without incident. On Wednesday, we got as far as Carthage, MO, which is on the Southwest corner of the state. On Thursday we woke up and decided to just go for it - 11 hours straight to The Woodlands, TX. We made it in about 10:00 PM last night.
About 15 miles from where my in-laws live is the stretch of I-45 that was plastered all over national TV as 2.5 million people tried to drive away from Hurricane Rita.
It’s a week later now and you’d never know anything happened. Just about everything is back to normal. The only remnant of the incident is rolling blackouts as the utility tries to bring the electrical grid back up. Power will go out for an hour or two every few days, so my in-laws say. We’ve got a generator in the RV and a full tank of gas, so it shouldn’t really effect us.
