Have there been parts of HOuston that have been evacuated? |
|
I e-mailed my sister in law in Houston to check on my nephew who is in FLorida but i have yet to get a reply. She's usually really quick but I thought i read somewhere about Houston evacuees. ANy info would be great.

14. Leave off the word smart and you are right |
|
don't knock my town and I don't have a problem. Houston is working hard to organize to help these people in NO. We are accepting them and the kids in the hospitals in NO are coming to Houston as well.
Don't want to hear what this person says about my good town....

16. Then put him on 'ignore' |
|
But if you knew the guy (and noticed the }( and :hide: smileys) you'd realize he was just trying to get a rise out of somebody.

High pressure keeping Katrina to the east, and the western side of a hurricane is drier and weaker (relatively) anyway.
We're GETTING evacuees here from NOLA, maybe that's what you heard.

4. Not according to my Aunt and Mother |
|
who are in Houstex.
Aunt sez: "There's a coastal flood watch but it doesn't extend as far as Houston. Can't tell how much rain and other storm effects we are ikely to get."
Your S-i-L is probably glued to the tv watching the katrina coverage!
hang in there.

Actually, it's made for some winds and knocked down the predicted highs by a few degrees.

9. The surf's up at Galveston |
|
Other than that, Houston's weather hasn't really been influenced by Katrina. The storm was pretty far from here.

11. Probably what you saw was referring to the evacuees being |
|
here in Houston. They traveled along the I-10 corridor into the Houston area.
I hear they're all over town.
I work in the airport (IAH), and we've seen lots of FEMA and Red Cross folks coming here - because both NO airports are under water.
They fly here and drive to NO.
