evacuation
*Funny story from a checkout guy at my neighborhood supermarket.Two women were standing in line at his register.

First woman: "I had the absolute worst evacuation experience — it took me eight hours to get to Conroe, and I was stuck in the car with my twin 3-year-old children."

Second woman: "Oh yeah? It took me four hours to get to The Woodlands, and I was stuck in the car with my husband."

First woman: "You win."
