Did you tell her to grab some food?
According to the city of Corpus Christi, they told residents that had no escape methods to bring 3 to 4 days of supplies to the nearest bus stop.

She was rescued by boat. No luggage is usually allowed. Purses are usually okay though. It all depends on the boat and who is rescuing you.
I'll give a few tips not going to write everything. You don't know how high the water will get if your are lucky it won't cover the roof and only be a few feet. Store everything that is irreplaceable in your attic or the highest point you can. plastic totes are best. There's no time to worry about stuff like furniture, TV's, clothes usually.
Get all important documents together including your insurance policy. Put them in plastic and stick them in your purse. Put your medicine in your purse as well.
Program all emergency numbers being given for that disaster into your cellphone. Most times 911 is busy so alternative numbers are needed when you call for help. This can save your life.
Do not EVER get in your attic to wait to be rescued. Get on the roof and call for help on your cell.
If there is time and it's safe. Throw the main breaker on your house before evacuating.
You can pack a bag but be prepared to leave it behind so make sure all important stuff you need is in your purse.
