On another forum I read something from someone in Houston, and the traffic is getting really bad. People who haven't been asked to evacuate are leaving and adding to the congestion (and I bet my brother's in that number!)
I don't blame them. There are no shelters in Houston. Houston is not deemed a safe place to shelter. But those of us not in the flood plain have not been told to evac as we are to evac in waves, with the coastal people first. Bottom line, we aren't getting out and we have nowhere to go.
George Bush doesn't care about Houston.
I have a son and daughter both living in Houston. They said there is not a loaf of bread or a bottle of water to be found anywhere. It is already difficult to get through to them on their cell phones. And the traffic is a nightmare. I just moved to Las Vegas from Houston after living there for 15 years. All my friends with small children are trying to leave now but my children are staying and riding out the storm. This site is fast becoming my lifeline for information. Thanks to all of you for information.
