Those Texans who are heading home to the Gulf early are bringing their own generators, large quantities of fuel, and their own supplies of food and water. The ones that came to Dallas that are going home bought up all the generators and jerrycans at my local Home Depot. We do have plenty of gas here for now, and these people are buying a lot of it to truck back down to the coast with them.
These people generally know what the consequences of going back early are. They've been glued to the news channels. They know there's no power or water in many areas - but they want to get back to start the cleanup for their homes and their neighbors' homes.
We are *not* useless liberals as a people.

Ich, was the original poster you replied to one of those ****** that called I-45 "the new Texas Superdome" upon which thousands would die? If so, they *really* don't know Texans at ALL.

You had a great attitude through this and you represented Texas well. I appreciate that.
