Huntville and Bryan are opening their shelters for fleeing Galveston/Houston residents. They had many supplies left after the Katrina evacuees left, so they are well stocked. Yesterday phone company and Operation Blessing trucks (Pat Robertson's group) were already heading south on I-45 to the Gulf. Texas will be ready.
Thanks for the local update.
I live in Bryan. We are expecting, as of this evening, to house a group of elderly on our middle school campus on one of our gyms. They'll be cool and comfortable. I just hope we don't have tornadoes out of this. Rain, I can handle. Tornadoes worry me.
