The mayor is on the radio blaming everyone he can think of from the governor to the president. When asked what he needs he said, "...everything...".

He is showing no leadership, and has no detailed knowledge of how to handle the crisis. He has no plan. This guy is a joke.

12,000 people in the AstroDome now; they changed their minds and let the buses that had already arrived in Houston to unload.

Later buses will be diverted to Dallas; Perry has declared his state in an emergency (so he can get funds).

BINGO it is lack of LEADERSHIP from the State House to the mayor to the Chief of Police etc.... You plan , practice and drill before the disaster... This whole thing is a failure of State and Local government... The governor was overwhelmed and is apparently adrift.
