Victoria is ~ 40 miles from the GOM. If the hurricane makes landfall at Corpus, or anywhere West of Victoria, you could experience major, serious flooding.
Waco is ~ 200 miles from the GOM and you will be MUCH safer from the hurricane side effects ... flooding, downed power lines, loss of electricity, flying debris, 80+ mph winds, etc....
I would not want to be living anywhere along SH 35 , as it has the potential to get real ugly. Even towns near Hwy59 are gonna see significant rain, winds, and flooding. If the hurricane stalls for 1-3 days like several predictions, I won't be surprised if some areas get 18" - 24" of rain.
I grew up, and still live along the LA coast. Been through 50 yrs of hurricanes and TS's. Mother Nature is nothing to mess around with ; especially if your West of the eye / landfall

Last alert I got was that Jackson County was voluntary...I didn't know Judge Simons had signed an order...my bad.
Jackson County Judge Simons has issued a MANDATORY Evacuation Order for Jackson County.
MANDATORY MEANS ALL CITIZENS IN JACKSON COUNTY ARE UNDER A MANDATORY EVACUATION ORDER.
ALL CITIZENS NEED TO TAKE THIS ORDER VERY SERIOUSLY AND REMOVE YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY FROM THE PATH OF THIS VERY DANGEROUS HURRICANE
AGAIN, JACKSON COUNTY IS NOW UNDER A MANDATORY EVACUATION AND NO SHELTERS WILL BE AVAILABLE IN JACKSON COUNTY.
ALL EMERGENCY SERVICES WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE WHEN WINDS REACH 45MPH OR ABOVE. SO PLEASE BE AWARE THAT IF YOU DECIDE TO STAY, YOU WILL HAVE TO BE SELF SUSTAINED.Last edited by Tx_Wader; 08-24-2017, 02:40 PM.

Do whatever you think is best, I doubt you would regret evacuating.
