I just spoke with my husband. He went to a county er meeting today. He said he was told that Gov. Bush has 1100 buses, 4 trains and a slew of ambulances on standby for the valley and that if the storm doesn't turn ,evac could be started as early as 32 hours. He was also told that something has been sent to the Pres. to sign where hospitals will not be able to refuse transfers and that the Attorney General will prosecute any nursing home owners that resist evacuation if mandated and that the Texas Department of Human Services will be at the door to make sure it happens.
Don't you mean Gov.Perry????
Honore saying Cat 5 gives him the creeps.
What's your take on the McAllen/Pharr area? Is that far enough inland (and south) to be safe? (dh's grandmother is in a nursing home there -- she's in her nineties and I definitely worry about her)
