Great point...I hadn't noticed it until you mentioned it. Wonder why?

Usually, shelters and damage assessments can be reported in the same county. (i.e., damage at the coast, then cut to shelter 10-20 miles inland). In this case, people evacuated big time not to local shelters.

When news first reached me that Hurrican Rita was going to collide head-on with Houston, TX, I was perplexed (as I'm sure many of you were). Why would George W. Bush summon a hurricane and aim it at his own state? What purpose could destroying his own people, the citizens of Texas possibly serve?
However, as I contemplated the possible strategies that this diabolical head-of-state could have in mind, two eventualities surfaced: First of all, Bush could have created this new hurricane in order to prove that he's on top of his emergency-relief game. How you say? Simple! By creating another Katrina-like disaster, Bush would be able to prepare beforehand this time around, greatly decreasing the amount of time first-responders take to rush the scene of the aftermath. Thus proving that he can indeed handle disaster-relief and therefore quelling the talk that he's a dunder-head. AND he'll look GOOD because NOW he sends Rita towards primarily WHITE Houston! So he saves the day AND proves that he's not racist all at the same time...or so I thought.
Immediately, however, I began hearing people whining about how prepared the federal government appeared for Rita, that the upped efficency was unfair to victims of Katrina. Almost right away I heard accusations of racism. Bush was only responding fast this time BECAUSE Houston is mostly white. He STILL hates black people and now he loses politically because his faster response time only PROVES that he fumbled the Katrina disaster. So I concluded that Bush probably wasn't sending Rita towards Houston in order to create a way to make up for Katrina...but what could possibly be the reason?
Then I got to thinking some more... What did we all recently find out George Bush hates? That's right, black people. So at first I was confused...why not just send Rita back to New Orleans and finish the place off? Then it dawned on me: New Orleans is empty because Bush ALREADY destroyed the city with Katrina. But WAIT!!! The plot thickens! WHERE did all the black people that SURVIVED Katrina go? That's right! HOUSTON! SO! I figured out that Hurricane Rita is being sent to Houston by George Bush in order to finish OFF all the black people that he MISSED with Katrina! What a sadist! What an evil master-mind! It's diabolical and yet so simple!
So there you have it folks. Rita is only FURTHER proof that Bush is nothing but an evil, war-mongering black-hater bent on global environmental destruction and complete and utter chaos.
Now please excuse me. I need to call Dan Rather. I'm sure he'll want to buy this information off of me...

Does anyone know what the heck Mark Furhman is doing with Geraldo in Texas?
