Texas does do a great job and I’m sure they have all the coast towns evacuated and a safe as possible.

Normally this is true, but because of the swing last night, quite a few areas have been caught off-guard, and a lot of the bigger school districts in and around Houston are still in session, etc., which means that come 6pm tonight, you will see another Rita-like mess.

Galveston especially was caught flat-footed - there are a lot of people that went to bed last night thinking it was going towards Corpus.

They should have been more aware, our local news 3 days ago said if this storm slows it will head further east. I hope they start NOW to get it together.
