Day 2

Well, they made it as far as Tuscan, AZ at the end of Day 1.  Decided to cut it short, had alot of heavy rain.  The plan for Day 2, August 31 was to head to Las Cruces, NM and head up to I40 to get north of Hurricane Gustav and the evacution taking place.  Good idea!

Heard from Terry at 7pm our time and 9pm their time.  They decided to go as far as Shamrock TX, just west of the Oklahoma border on I40.  They encountered more rain throughout the morning, but ran into dry and sunny skies as the day progressed.  They had dinner and were going to watch the weather channel to decide their next step.  Said they ONLY got about 780 miles, short of the 1,000 miles they wanted to accomplish, but the weather  decided otherwise.

So tonight they will calculate how far to Key West, Fl and when Hurricane Hanna will hit and with what intensity, aye yi yi......

So we will see what transpires tomorrow!
