I am in Houston, in no danger from rising water and I didn't hear anyone tell me to evacuate.

It depends on how you receive information. The news media twisted the information with "run for your lives" headlines. Majority of people did not listened to what Mayor White actually said. The new media did not stress the evacuations were limited to low lying areas or the path of the hurricane. This resulted in the decision of the nursing home to evacuate to Dallas. Killing two dozen elderly people a full day before the storm actually made landfall. The nursing home was located in Belliare of all places. The media left everyone to believe what happen to N.O. was about to happen in Houston. Unlike New Orleans none of Houston is below sea level.
You and I listen to what was being said instead of falling for the misinformation of the media. I think this is what FP is all about, correcting misinformation spread by the media. Good to know ya!
