The thing about the obnoxious is their ability to drown everyone else out when the events are still unfolding. Later on, we can get a word in edgewise.
Thank you, and good luck to you in the months to come.
The largest number of evacuees at Reliant City was on Sept. 4, when it housed 27,100 residents.
I haven't lived in Houston in several years but my sister and my son live there now. Reliant City evidently refers to a complex which includes a sports arena, a large (maybe the largest in Houston) convention center named the George R. Brown and the Astrodome.
(http://www.reliantpark.com/facilities/facilities.asp) for more information about the size of the facilities used and their various locations in Houston.
According to the Red Cross, more than 4,000 evacuees were still living in Houston's three largest shelters on Wednesday. The number of evacuees at each shelter by noon was:
Reliant Center -- 2,021
Astrodome -- 1,068
George R. Brown Convention Center -- 1,069
Houston has managed to help 23,000 evacuees move out of the three area's being used as shelters. I found the article interesting because of the help Houston was able to offer such a large number of people.

Not everything is perfect as there is also this report from the FBI about out of state gangs and a fight which happened at one of the schools.
