Two words for those who're flinging shade at Houston municipal officials: Hurricane Rita

72. Perfectly said. Just perfect.

You know what scares me the most?
crowds.
and the psychology of crowds.
and lots of traffic/transportation jams.


I watched one hurricane evacuation, on a north-south freeway from Mobile, Al. become a parking lot.
That was in 1995. Many more people have moved to the beaches around and in Mobile since then.

If you are gonna evacuate because of a hurricane, do it at least 2 days ahead of landfall, and be willing to risk any scoffers, be willing and able to stay away for at least 3 days post-storm, cause getting back into the area will be very difficult.
the best that will happen is you took a couple days vacation and the storm did not hit where you live.
The worst that can happen is it does hit and you lose things that you had no power to save anyway.
