Hurricane Dean could make its way to Texas by the middle of next week and Lubbock is getting ready.

Governor Rick Perry is preparing for a widespread evacuation if necessary and Lubbock is considered an evacuation hub.

You'll remember the city took in evacuees from both Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

The city's emergency team had a conference call with state crews Friday and will have another one Saturday to form a game plan.
