Corpus officials are ENCOURAGING residents to leave? Wow, they must be pretty prepared for a major hurricane. Do they build everything out of concrete and up on stilts down there?

Hurricanes can be very unpredictable. Hopefully this thing stays away from NOLA.

That mayor sounds like a fricking idiot. "We could mandate, but people need to make a decision on their own"

No. You should see downtown. It's a sitting duck.

If you're in the uplands of Corpus Christi, you're good, apparently. Geesh.

I'll bet they will mandat it later. They are probably just wanting to space out the traffic.

Most of Corpus is up above storm surge levels, especially considering the barrier island protection, and should be designed to withstand category 5 strength winds.


That said, I'd be getting the frick out.

Meh, I still wouldn't risk being stranded in a town with no power and damaged infrastructure.

Go to San Antonio for a few days. It isn't worth the risk.
