Last night on this live thread. I don't know what time this thread got "changed"; it does periodically get a new thread when the posts get over 5,000+.

Someone who was a relief worker talked about the rapes and bathrooms that had already been nearly destroyed.

And you claim this happened in Houston? If it did, then why is the media sitting on it. If anything like that happened you'd have FNC standing outside the Astrodome every 15 minutes talking about how Texas allowed the horrors of the Superdome to return.

Police present at Astrodome, other shelters

Associated Press

HOUSTON —Houston police and other law officers securing hurricane evacuee shelters around Texas have high visibility to keep the peace.

Most of the Louisiana refugees are in the Houston Astrodome and nearby facilities.

Overnight, Houston police reported the arrest of 10 evacuees.

Capt. John Anderson says nine were cited for minor drug offenses, while one was arrested for an assault that was not sexual. Anderson says that's pretty mild for a "city" of 25,000.

In Dallas, about 100 law enforcement officials were at the Dallas Convention Center and another 50 at Reunion Arena. The Texas National Guard is served as a backup.

In San Antonio, military police welcomed refugees after they landed at Lackland Air Force Base.

So did drug sniffing dogs, along with city police at the shelter.

Some of the people creating this mayhem and destruction are being shipped to private homes. I am worried about that.
