With the exception of being next to Mexico, Texas sucks geographically. I moved down here from the pacific NW where it rains all the time, yet I never remember a flood. It rains good here for 120 minutes and half of the streets turn in to whitewater rapids. Too flat I guess, the water has no place to go.

Shoot I gotta spend a $100 on gas just to get to some hills worth climbing.

Flat ground + it's all clay. No drainage.

Could be wrong about this, but don't think there is such a thing as "mandatory" evacuation in Texas.

Galveston mayor called for mandatory evac.

I live in the Richmond/Rosenberg area. Our son attends WCJC, so he'll be leaving there soon, since Wharton, TX is pretty much on the projected storm path. But our home should be fairly safe from flooding, therefore we're planning on staying put.

I was down there 2 weeks ago, boy the traffic there really sux!

Good luck to all of you in Texas. There's still a chance the storm could go into Mexico, but it is definitely gonna affect the Texas coast. On another forum someone quoted Jay Leno last night "do you think this is a good time to take "under God" out of the Pledge of Allegiance?"

I think I know what you mean and why you say that, but contrary to what you see on CNN and the evening news, New Orleans is not totally destroyed. Another cat4 could double the economic damage to New Orleans.
