Have there been parts of HOuston that have been evacuated?

[movie_girl99]

I e-mailed my sister in law in Houston to check on my nephew who is in FLorida but i have yet to get a reply. She's usually really quick but I thought i read somewhere about Houston evacuees. ANy info would be great.

1. I think to be on the safe side, the entire city of Houston.....

...should be evacuated. Permanantly. Hurricane or not.

3. Why you...

You and your bitter loathing and like that.

[XNASA]

5. I speak from experience....

So it's not like I'm talkin' out my ass or anything.

:hide:

10. Well, now isn't that special....

so stay in Chicagoland.

'Nuff Yankees here already.

[dogday]

12. Don't like Houston, Don't come here

we don't want you here either....

[Richardo]

13. Now now gang, leave XNASA alone.

He's OK, just a smartass. :)

[dogday]

14. Leave off the word smart and you are right

don't knock my town and I don't have a problem. Houston is working hard to organize to help these people in NO. We are accepting them and the kids in the hospitals in NO are coming to Houston as well.

Don't want to hear what this person says about my good town....

16. Then put him on 'ignore'

But if you knew the guy (and noticed the }( and :hide: smileys) you'd realize he was just trying to get a rise out of somebody.

17. First I have seen of his posts

yes, some people just get off on the flaming....

15. More like a DumbAss

2. We're hot and dry

High pressure keeping Katrina to the east, and the western side of a hurricane is drier and weaker (relatively) anyway.

We're GETTING evacuees here from NOLA, maybe that's what you heard.

[eek]

4. Not according to my Aunt and Mother

who are in Houstex.

Aunt sez:
"There's a coastal flood watch but it doesn't extend as
far as Houston. Can't tell how much rain and other
storm effects we are ikely to get."

Your S-i-L is probably glued to the tv watching the katrina coverage!

hang in there.

6. thanks to everyone for the gracious replies n/t

[Richardo]

7. ...except for XNASA

:)

8. Nope.

Actually, it's made for some winds and knocked down the predicted highs by a few degrees.

9. The surf's up at Galveston

Other than that, Houston's weather hasn't really been influenced by Katrina. The storm was pretty far from here.

11. Probably what you saw was referring to the evacuees being

here in Houston. They traveled along the I-10 corridor into the Houston area.

I hear they're all over town.

I work in the airport (IAH), and we've seen lots of FEMA and Red Cross folks coming here - because both NO airports are under water.

They fly here and drive to NO.
