The reporter clearly said that those who wanted to come back right then wanted to know if the city was going to provide a shelter in case they couldn't stay in their homes.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Texas is anywhere near the way New Orleans was.
But I just don't get this "I'm going back even if everybody else says no and the winds haven't even died down" mentality.
The reporter had no idea what they were talking about, as usual.
Nobody I know from Galveston that's going back expects that at all. One of them is renting a chopper and pilot to bring supplies back in with him, including a huge diesel generator that can power his entire neighborhood with enough fuel for two weeks.
Texans are going back home with aid, supplies, and no illusions about what they're going to find. They want to get started on the cleanup.
By the end of the week, it will be all but impossible to tell that a hurricane hit the area in 90% of the strike zone.
