Lovely Rita meter maid

Lovely Rita meter maid ... or .. should I sing ... My way or the highway?


Right here in the heart of Texas, it has been blues all the way since yesterday for many ... highways are packed with action- only, all of it in slow motion - traffic is moving at a snail's pace if at all moving; stalled vehicles running out of gas after 12+ hours on the road and covering less than 20 miles; may be a million+ vehicles covering every inch of the highway between Houston to every major city in the North of Texas. And gas stations have dried up, grocery stores are struggling to keep up ...

... one may wonder ...

Are we really prepared? Is that the best a government can do for its citizens? Is this the best way to order an evacuation? Is it justified to burn up so many millions of gallons of gas all in a day? And what if the thunderstorms, if not hurricane Rita itself catches up with them out there in the wild? I understand people getting out of Galveston to reach Houston, but why is Houston being evacuated? Houston is not New Orleans? Are there no strong enough structures to shelter people while the authorities take care of their food and water (assuming not all of the 5million plus are in harms way)?

We in College Station, are doing all we can while waiting with open arms to receive evacuees from coastal areas. And while the good folks here are working hard to accomodate the guests ... atleast one thing is certain- KEOS will stand strong and will keep your spirits high as long as it takes ... stay out of harm's way and stay tuned!
