I saw 500 National Guards vehicles heading to Houston and Galveston yesterday on the news. They are there..they are rescuing people and handing out water and food already!!
This is just your typical democrat politician trying to milk any discomfort at all for political reasons...just like they did during Katrina!
Hey folks in Houston/Galveston who may be lurking..if you can’t find water or ice yet because you were too stupid to stock up before the storm......try looking at the San Luis hotel in Mayor Thomas’s room or perhaps Bill White can share his stash with you...(eye roll)
FEMA IS ALREADY THERE...SO ARE THE NATIONAL GUARD!!
Next sentence, "We don't know where to go to get food and water. Nobody is telling us anything here."
I am heading back tomorrow to houston and ever time i are a NG truck or FEMA I am gonna take pics and video. My family in mississippi said the place was crawling with FEMA and NG and the news wouldn’t report that.

Two Blackhawk helicopters from Madison’s 147th Aviation battalion and three Huey helicopters from the 832nd Medical Company in West Bend arrived at Camp Robinson near Little Rock Tuesday night.

“We lost everything,” Rivera cried from the rescue boat.
The couple chose not to evacuate, thinking the storm would not be as bad as predicted. But they found themselves fleeing to the attic when water rushed into the house and rose 7 feet up the walls.
Rescue crews plucked them and others trapped in homes and moved them to higher ground elsewhere on the island.
