I can tell you absolutely that if I lived in flood zone and saw dem mayor trying to downplay a claim about city council meeting talking about 50 inches..I would have given serious thought to bugging out. I think there were enough signs that this was a seriously dangerous situation
Btw..I have lived through a houston hurricane when I was young..dumb..and stupid...didnt know if I needed to get in bathtub like with tornadoes. I dont think i did anything -not even get major supplies. Probably at least got gas and some food.
