          True, evacuating millions isn't easy either. But it is something we will have to consider—esp. with climate change.https://twitter.com/Joseph_Duarte/status/901822412647530497 …

          The last time they tried most people just got stuck on the freeway without food and water.

          Only reason I can imagine Houston mayor didn't call for evacuation is no public transportation provided. If so he's an idiot

          @emilylhauser @NWS Just how do mandatory evacuate 6.5million people in 24/48/72 hours? People die in that situation also.

          Lack of mandatory evacuation will be a topic for people who are too lazy and uninformed to know about Rita or Allison. But tweet away.

          I've been following this topic many many years. Well aware. Can evacuate *within the city* to higher ground.
