Like all Oklahoma news, the fires just entered the Houston TV news consciousness (something about that Red River blocks all communication to the south of it) and of course, it's "the whole city of OKC is on fire !!! and being evacuated!!! here's a resident now: "I didn't see no fire when I come outta muh house, but muh neighbor said "look" and there was flames just rat cheer!!"
Oops! We now interrupt the OKC report yet again for Breaking News Breaking News: Another apartment complex in Houston is on fire --- going now to the scene. "I wuz jest cookin' sumpin' here where I be stayun and alla suddenlike the flames wuz on da roof" -- Narrator in voice-over: Miss Washington moved here from New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina ... "I'z her feeyonce and my three cuzzins jest died last week in that other apartment fire over on Bellfort." Narrator voice-over: Mr Cleveland recently re-located to Houston from Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina ...
This is why *Houston* was named "Texan of the Year" and why they don't bother to report our own 110 brush fires on TV.
ROFLMAO at your characterization of our lovely Katrina evacuees. On a more sobering note, our neighbors were shooting off fireworks into the air tonight. I know I've said this before, but why couldn't the county close the fireworks stands these past two weeks?
