I originally heard that the Astrodome was to take 20k which I knew was ridiculous. Then tonight I heard they had 5K and it looked pretty full to me. Then the buses were turned away--this is beyond comprehension.

Does anyone know what the heck happened on the overshoot on the # that could be taken?

The Fire Marshall happened.

This always happens in Texas. They come in and lay down the law.

Never been tried before and one thing to use numbers, another to see bodies.

This is a really dumb question.
Why are we not setting up semi-perm tent type barracks for these people at a underutilized location somewhere?
Provide medical, schooling for kids, community college classes for adults, movies at night. All in a semi military style environment?

Why take them to trash a sports arena?

The tent thing could be set up just as quickly.

This is long term, we are probably supporting them anyway, lets do it right and have a controlled situation,

Not to worry. We have more county commisions engaged on this now. We will not turn our neighbors away. Guaranteed.
The naysaying nitwits generally have too many arrests and drug convictions to be allowed onto a military installation in the state of Texas.
