Tired of the same old hurricane evacuation routine? We've compiled a guide to turning your necessary departure into a memorable Texas adventure. Instead of crowding into chain hotels with your family and pets, consider charming destinations like Luckenbach and Fredericksburg with their creek-side cabins, dance halls, wineries, and boutiques. Or venture east to Jefferson, one of Texas's most haunted towns, complete with ghost-filled hotels, antique shopping, and riverboat tours through atmospheric bayous.
For families, Glen Rose offers the prehistoric wonder of Dinosaur Valley State Park where kids can track real dinosaur footprints, while Bandera—the self-proclaimed "Cowboy Capital of the World"—delivers authentic western experiences including unique hillside architecture that creates the feeling of entering old-time speakeasies. These alternatives transform a potentially stressful evacuation into an opportunity for discovery and adventure.
We also explore what your car color reveals about your personality. Drive a red vehicle? You're likely passionate and adventure-seeking. Black car owners tend to be mysterious sophisticates who value elegance, while white car drivers are practical planners who keep things neat and organized.
The segment culminates with an in-depth review of the 2025 Toyota GR Corolla—a 300-horsepower compact that's far more than its namesake suggests. This factory race car generates a cult following among 30-something enthusiasts and delivers thrilling performance that rivals the Volkswagen Golf R and Honda Civic Type R, proving that sometimes the best things come in small, powerful packages.
