As long as he is careful and cautious, he should be fine. There are no storms near Dallas yet. Just a little mist. I'm sure he'll be fine.

As long as he is okay driving in hard rain he should be okay. They will not let his flight go out however if the weather is too bad. I was actually stuck in DC 3 weeks ago because of the weather in Dallas... but they let us leave as soon as the weather got better. As a girl from Oklahoma, trust me he will be just fine.

It will be fine. I fly constantly and have flown in bad weather. The air travel will be fine - if it's not safe to fly, then the airlines will delay or cancel the flight. There might be turbulence but like I said the airlines won't fly if it's not safe.

Smile Weather & Driving in California

With the generally beautiful climate, significant amounts of sunshine, and variety of terrain, California definitely has a lot to offer people who love the outdoors. Unfortunately, the weather doesn抰 always stay perfect in California.

Below, Esurance offers pointers on California weather conditions and how to drive in them safely so you can reach your destination without incident.

Fog
San Francisco is famous for its summer fog; however, fog also affects other areas of California. Descending rapidly in certain areas, fog can inhibit your ability to see and be seen-- causing havoc on the roads.

If you find yourself in a foggy situation, slow down for conditions and make sure your headlights are on. You抣l probably also want to use your windshield wipers. Keep in mind that using your brights will actually make it more difficult to see. If the fog looks thick or you抮e concerned about your safety, don抰 drive! Also, remember to put your hazard lights on if you pull over to the side of the road so that other drivers see you.

Extreme Heat
Be smart when you drive in the desert. Temperatures are going to be high?putting your car at risk for overheating. Before you set out to drive in the desert, get your vehicle tuned up and make sure the air conditioning is in good working order. Pack plenty of water for your passengers and your car抯 radiator so you can prevent overheating.

When you take significant inclines that require your vehicle to work extra hard?turn off your air conditioner. You don抰 want to cause additional stress to your vehicle and have a breakdown in the desert. And, by all means, consider avoiding the desert in the summer when temperatures are at an all-time high!

Rain
Rain, particularly in the first few minutes of a rainstorm, can make roads slippery and hazardous for drivers. Be sure to give yourself more room to stop during rainy weather and use your headlights and windshield wipers.

If you find yourself in a serious rainstorm with high waters, turn back! You could be putting you and your passengers at serious risk. For tips on avoiding floods and flood-ridden vehicles, read,

Question Do you know this scripture?

I do not know about you but when a worry like this comes every once in a while, I am reminded of the most famous promise from the Bible...I think it is Isaih 54..." No weapon formed formed against you shall ever prosper...". Meditate on this promise as much and your husband will be safe. I too will agree with you in this prayer. Have you forgotten that when two or three agree on any prayer, it shall be done for sure? In any case there are no storms in Dallas as yet.

Well I'm sure he'll be fine with his driving travel. Driving through thunderstorms is no big deal. But as for his air travel, I can't make any promises. I don't trust planes ONE BIT. Good luck to you
