"How much money does it take to ride a state-chartered bus, stay in a state and Red Cross sponsored shelter, and eat food provided by the Southern Baptists and the Red Cross?"You are right, with one modification for here. The 350 in our shelter here in Middle TN flew into Memphis, then drove here by bus. The day after arriving they began asking when their financial aid cards would get there. They were seriously bummed when we informed them they were getting food and shelter.... only.
That said... the ones who were responsible and evacuated themselves have spent lots of money. I guess that's one of the things you take into account when you choose to live on the coast, just like snow days in the midwest cost you time off from your job.

Galveston was on a path to become the Premier city in the region, the great 1900 storm changed all that and Houston, a safe distance from the Gulf of Mexico, became the great Texas port city instead of Galveston.

Many evacuees obtained their own food, shelter, and travel.
