My Hurricane Isaac Evacuation Trip

    We started watching media since Saturday and initially Isaac was Tropical Storm. The expectation was to be upgraded to category 1 and then category 2 which is the one going to hit greater new orleans area. fortunately, it is only upgraded to category 1. My husband was working on Monday and when he came back we decided to evacuate to Houston, Texas  by the next day. On Tuesday, we collected the essential things like documents, food and clothing. After that, we drove  through I10 west after we ensured that the routes are OK. we made arrangement with a hotel to stay and we arrived at 4 pm. We enjoyed three nights and we continued monitoring the weather, road routes and power outages throughout the trip. By Friday, there was no more wind or rain and the power was so we decided to go back through the designated road routes and finally got home at 10 pm. No real damage happen to my home.
