I think if I lived where my brother lives (nw Houston, I would stay. If I lived where I used to live (Pearland, and on a street that flooded a lot cause it was in a hole) I would have gone and stayed at my brother's house...But this is in part because I expect the storm to hit between Port O'Connor and Corpus. And Houston is not New Orleans...Geography makes a diference.
I guess we should find out how wide Rita is.
