        This is why I insisted my elderly relatives leave Houston last week. I paid for their accommodations to be moved. Feeling lucky right now.

        What I meant to convey was, "was being well funded prerequisite for moving these people to safety?" If it is, that's wrong.

        Or you know...a "that's awesome that you helped your family" would have been better than criticizing. You did good, reason doesn't matter.

        They were NOT told to evacuate by their local government as they are not in a typical flood zone. Unfortunately, this isn't typical.

        True, but since they were not in a typical flood zone it was not something they thought they should worry about. The govt leaders failed.
