I'm surfing - unfortunately stopped by CNN and heard Aaron Brown running down the TX folks for not having fuel prepositioned for these poor folks trying to evac. Unbelievable MSM.

Did he mention the fact that the state sent tankers out to refill those empty vehicles?

Texas is moving fuel trucks down to the evacuation routes as I type. Will resupply both gas stations along the way and stranded motorists. Still have about 24 hours to get folks off the roads. Vow not to leave anyone stranded. Remember, evacuation originally was for persons in low-lying areas; not entire city. However, good number or residents decided to boogie anyway, which given the anticipated storm intensity is smart.

However, if you are off the beaten track and waited to long to take the back roads, you could be in trouble. Lady just called into the station -- has been on I-45 all day and gave up and left main road for back roads. Has diabetic father with her, 1/8th tank gas and a few candy bars left, in Tomball at a closed convenience store. EMT's came and checked her dad, but did not transport. Announcer asks for folks in the area to come help her. Person calls in and says open gas station east of her between her location and I-45.

Yes, the MSM will magnify every perceived flaw with even more intensity than they downplayed the flaws of Blanco and Nagin. The intensity with which the MSM spins would make any hurricane jealous.
