""Houston area officials who urged people to stay home before the storm may have been remembering that the city government was strongly criticized after the disastrous evacuation before Hurricane Rita in 2005.
In the hours before Rita struck the Houston area in September 2005, government officials issued an evacuation order, and some 2.5 million people hit the road at the same time, according to the Houston Chronicle.
In my opinion, 12 years is a long time to figure out how to safely evacuate that many people. Harvey isn't the first storm to hit Houston and it won't be the last. The city of Houston and the state of Texas need to figure out how to safely evacuate people. With as much notice as they had with Hurricane Harvey, they should have been able to make it happen.
