"Some" parts of the Valley are expected to get up to 30" of rain. Houston can't handle that, in truth most places can't. I have been to the Valley many times. Were I there now. I would go North, and West, as far, and as fast as I could. I have seen what not even an inch will do to the area around McAllen. Makes lakes where there was none, And after seeing what 10 inches of rain did to the flat lands of NC. No way would I stay in the flat lands of Texas and try to fight 30 inches. It will flood for a hundred miles. Notice what it does with just a summer rain storm.
But, y'all do what you want.
Thanks for permission to do what we want. I wondered who was in charge of such things.
Who is saying thirty inches of rain in the RGV? Where do you get these "Facts"? Someone should tell Houston that you have moved them to the "Valley". The officials in the RGV are telling people NOT to leave. There will be rain and it may be heavy but the hurricane is supposed to hit two hundred miles north of the RGV. We are NOT idiots and we don't call people who do not agree with us names. Have a great evening.
Was on the national news. Didn't say you were idiots. Said the ones who tried to face down Katerina were. does that apply to you?? If you have never ridden out a major hurricane. Please get ready. they are dangerous for hundreds of miles in every direction. Even as far as 300 miles inland, and away from the eye.
Good luck and Stay safe
