You are still treating the argument as the whole of Houston is evacuating.

The flooding started Saturday night. You have Wednesday night, all day and night Thursday, all day and night Friday, all day Saturday, and probably a good portion of the night.

In regards to getting the infirm, elderly, etc., out, what are all of those buses doing.

Your arguments are not convincing.

And, if you are telling people in low lying areas leave, and even now, with homes flooded, people will not leave their homes, I am not worried about more people than necessary leaving. It will balance out.

But they didn’t try.

That's because the whole of Houston is flooding.

See Mapping the Devastation of Harvey In Houston


Many of the bayous, flood channels and rivers around the city were well above the top of the water bank as of 4 p.m. Central time on Monday.

Red dots are overflowed. Orange are nearly overflowed.


Rising waters have closed major roads, frontage lanes and exits. Thousands of people have been rescued from flooded cars and homes, many of which were almost completely submerged.

Purple dots are high water incidents.


Your arguments are not convincing.

I'm not convincing you. Given the maps above, where would YOU start, and how long would it take?
