I actually do think most Houston/Galveston residents realize the storm surge in these areas. Unless they have never turned on the radio or TV, they have seen this graphic. These areas are on the mandatory evacuation areas. Houston is prepared. I just don't think they were prepared for the amount of traffic that would be coming out of Houston.

One would think that, but there was a post just last night from a Freeper in an area well into a Cat 3 surge area who said they weren't leaving until Friday night. That area will be underwater by Fri. night, unless the storm center stays east of High Island.
