We have news up dates ever few hours on TV here...There is an Aussie reporter on location... now there is a Mandatory Evacuation for Sugar Land... ""Sugar Land - The Fort Bend County Judge's Office says a mandatory evacuation has been issued for Sugar Land residents in First Colony Levee Improvement District #1 and those living within the Fort Bend County Levee Improvement District #7. Judge Hebert advised residents can't go east into Houston, but they can still go north and west. Most roads going north to west are open right now, but they will start to close around 3pm due to high water If residents wait to leave, they will have to wind their way through many detours in the county. By 7pm or 8pm tonight, more roads will be covered with water. As many as 100 roads were already blocked as of 5am. People in mandatory evacuation areas need to be moving by 4 p.m. to either evacuate or get to a shelter, according to Judge Hebert. ""

indianadave1951 Mishawaka, IN 66, joined Dec. 2010	Quote from sparks_01: Its unreal the weather people didnt see the magnitude of this storm Local and national meteorologists have been saying since Wednesday that the two high pressure areas just north of Houston would block the movement of this hurricane. I'm in Indiana and all of the local weather people have been saying this will a big problem. Houston is the 4th largest city in the country. Trying to get 2.5 million people to evacuate in such a short time would have people stuck on freeways during the storm. Not a good idea. It would be like trying to evacuate Chicago within 48 hours. When Katrina hit New Orleans people tried to leave but because of traffic lots of people were stranded on I-10 and Houston is a MUCH larger metropolis.

So, can you afford bus tickets/plane tickets or car rental for x amount of ppl in your family or even just for yourself ? Questionable..... If you do ? Where are you going ? How are you going to pay for a room for, let's say 5 days on the short end ? Then food etc ? Yes, you could go to a shelter city, do you know where the shelter is ? How to get there from the bus terminal etc ? Here ? They were bringing ppl in and then asking them for "documentation" "papers", if they didn't have them ? They were deporting them to Mexico. Now for the statements of "people expecting the government" to "save them", here is how I see it. Most cities have massive public bus systems here....We have roughly 524 buses available alone, each holds about 67 ppl ...that is a lil over 35,000 people in one swoop.

When Hurricane Rita barreled toward Texas in 2005, an exodus of about 3 million people contributed to as many as 107 deaths — BEFORE the storm. Traffic jams stretched across hundreds of miles over two days, and many people running out of gas and abandoning their vehicles. Dozens died from accidents and heat-related illnesses, all before Rita even made landfall. With Harvey it could have been even worse on roads that quickly got flooded with several feet of fast-moving water.
