My mom just showed up.  She was stuck in contraflow which is when they turn all the interstate lanes in both directions into one direction.  http://www.lsp.org/pdf/HurricaneGuideSE.pdf     What would have normally taken an hour and fifteen minutes took her 6 hours and 10 minutes!   My dad is still at his house, stubbornly riding it out.  

We are heading out to eat Red Lobster for dinner.  My people like their cheese biscuits and we most likely won't be able to leave a lot tomorrow because of the rain.
