I think they should have made you the Governor of Texas. Or at least, the state coordinator for emergencies. You were the only one listening.

Texas has now mobilized 3000 National Guard troops. That is a very smart move. This crisis is by no means over. Houston and other cities have to get through a whole week of this stuff. this is only Day #1. People are gonna' start running out of clean water, food and sanitation pretty quickly. It will be a real mess in the communities with the high flood waters.

AKSAR - maybe you are right. We never heard from the towns that got hit with the hardest winds. That story has not been told yet.

And finally - here is an article that asks the same question that I am asking ... why wasn't Houston evacuated??
