After nearly two days of dithering, I decided to escape to Huntsville and wait out the storm up there instead of staying in its path. With a little help from my work, I was able to have my AirBnb and gas covered, which put the icing on the cake.
I also got to travel to some pretty cool places while the weather was good.
Here's the details.
