Houston also is spread out. I too was there during
alicia. Actually, I was in Crosby. My mobile home was destroyed but we stayed at my BILs that night on the west side and it wasn't bad. Going back, the ramps were flooded and a lot of windows out and we were without power for 2 weeks but life went on.

I was going to mention how spread out Houston is. After all, it can take 1.5 hours to cross with good traffic flow. I decided against it because Katrina was a big storm and affected a large area. If we were hit by another Katrina type I don't know that it would matter all that much if you were in Kingwood or Sugar Land. Both might get punched in a pretty close timeframe.
