When it rains… it apparently pours all the wrath of Zeus over a 500 mile radius that lasts for three days. After a harrowing last couple days of packing and rushing to the end of the move finish line, we\u2019ve been creeping along on the road for 26 hours and only managed to make it 6.5 \u2018normal\u2019 hours from Houston.
