the buses is what I remember. watching as the NORTA vehicles sat mostly unused, discussing with KJ off-site about how long it would take to evacuate that many people with just the NORTA vehicles, and usmcobra and i looking at over-head pics, trying to find where the buses were kept during the storm.

contrast that with the Galveston evacuation with schoolbuses, there is a picture out there of the line of buses, where you can see the last schoolbus is empty and what looks to be the shoptruck is following along, in case one of the vehicles breaks down.
