Anyone who has lived in or around Houston for more tha a year knows that it is flood prone. The city proper is built on an alluvial delta and in the middle of a giant flood plain. A basic, fundamental understanding of gulf coast weather patterns this time of year is all you need to know that trouble is coming days in advance. Even the lightest of tropical weather touching the Texas coast is going to end up affecting Houston almost every time.
Take charge of your own life and that of your family. Quit relying on some government official agency to determine your fate. Get some situational awareness, then plan to evacuate on your own and act accordingly.
Situational Awareness:
The idea centers on an incredible strategic tool: the OODA Loop :
Observe,
Orient,
Decide,
Act.
