I watched the Rita evacuation of Houston from Austin- lives lost & misery. I've 2 sons in Houston right now. Grateful for no evac decision.

I hope your sons are ok. I have a couple employees there and they are safe but that city will forever be changed.

He didn't say it wasn't bad, he said an evacuation would have been worse. Do your reading comprehension skills work?

I heard them 4 days predict exactly what happened. At least those on 1st floor or basement homes should have been evacuated days ago. Horrid
