If the Mayor had told those that don't know enough, four days out to leave, there would have been some still in dire straights but not a many.
Years ago we had a local weather bureau, with accurate forecasts.
A Radio and TV Personality many of us knew privately and a public figure would advise business and Employees they should leave early and so on.
A lot,of people owed their safety to him and the Weather Bureau.
A Businessman didn't like it as he wanted Employees to stay until they couldn't get home. Not his problem if they couldn't.
Enough pressure was brought to bear on the stations to not let him advise Employees and the Weather Bureau not to issue such advise.
There was two occasions, I remember of Employees of downtown Businesses Employees, being stuck at the Employers over the weekend and in one case a week.
No pay and no food and power outages too so no heat.
Next Election our ed Senators and Congressman succeeded in getting the local Weather Bureau closed too.
A result, as expected,above.
The Mayor could have issued an order to evacuate earlier but didn't. Business People wouldn't like the loss of expected business.
Roads jammed? As in Ga and the Carolinas, they turn both, sides of Interstate to outbound traffic only. How many Interstates out of Houston?I've lost count not to mention Texas Highways with broad shoulders that slower traffic will use, to let people in a hurry go by.
Then the Airports round the clock evacuation, but FEMA nor Texas though about emergency panning for round the clock evacuation by aircraft planning.It wouldn't solve the total problem but could have handled a huge chunk of the problems.
At any rate i would like to bee able to help but I would be an obstacle, right now.
If FEMA will even let Volunteers, in and direct them is perhaps a problem, remembering what happened with Katrina.
At Churches they will be filling vans or semis.
Large Mobile kitchens and refrigerated supply trucks,and large Generator trucks such as there is one outfit on the mountain will undoubtedly be headed that way.
Any of you able to go thank you
