Every official in that state better pray that there is NOT an investigation?

Now I just heard on TV that the people in Texas are ignoring the governor's pleas not to return home?

I suppose they will go back and then whine because they have no power, wate, etc?

What is the world coming to.

I saw two Houston evacuee vehicles heading west from Dallas towards Ft. Worth today. They sure weren't heading for Houston.

Some are, yes. But when you say "the people in Texas", you make it sound as if you think it's all of them.

And I'm not about to second-guess the ones who have, because I was close to being one of them (we finally chose instead to stay). If I were to return home ahead of the Governor's schedule, it would have been because I had good reason to. Not everyone's situation is the same, and some people will have a pressing need to return earlier than the Governor's personal timetable.

I suppose you have a reason to presume the worst of Texans? Why not instead suppose they will go back and accept the consequences of their early return, knowing that the power may not be back on yet? Why do you not suppose that they've checked with neighbors and already know the status of the basic services in their neighborhood, as my own evacuated neighbors have done?

What is the world coming to.

What is the world coming to when some Freepers insulting presume that Texans will act like helpless liberals?
