Texas' Jefferson and Oranges counties were told to evacuate early Wednesday

They may have been asked, or it might have been suggested that they leave, but they were not TOLD to. There is no law that mandates an evacuation in Texas. We just hate being TOLD what we can and can't do. ;-)

You're right - TELLING us Texans to do something is not likely to get us moving! However, I know some folks in Beaumont who just emailed that, having been told or suggested to, they suddenly have a desire to visit Tyler or Dallas - so northward they go!
