For those lving in Texas in the Houston area, check and see if you are one of those who need to be mandatoroly evacuated and IF this comes then check and see what time ur town/city needs to be evacuated.
On September 21 if you live in the following areas then the mandatory evacuations will begin at 6:00pm: Areas: Galveston, Tiki Island, Bayou Vista, Kemah, Boliver, Bayview, and Clear Lake Shores.
On september 22 if you live in Texas City, LaMarque, Dickinson, Hitchcock you will be asked to evacuate at 2:00AM
On September 23 if you live in the following areas League City, Friendswood. Will be asked to evacuate at noon.
These are all central times.
For more info go to this websiteRita Evac Info (http://www.ccisd.net/rita/default.html)
This is also where i got the info that you see above. TY

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

Texans will evacuate when they damn well please.

not to be rude but this isnt a laughing matter
-
I hope the ones that need to get out, get out. I dont really want to see history repeat itself so soon.
-
Yeah, leave now, or risk being called an opportinist looter in wait. Or a dumbarse.
In Key West, where manditory evacuations were called, only half the people actually evacuated.
In Houston? What will the percentage be?
Then throw the whole thing into a blender and tell us how New Orleans was the result of ignorance or criminal intent.

You obvousley didn't keep up with Katrina did you? It was a cat 4, look at the pictures of Mississippi, they look like a small nuclear bomb went off. Get out while you can.

Latest i've heard is after landfall, it will move up the brazos river right into waco :( I've heard anything up to 90mph winds as far inland as waco. that means evac in houston would have to go as far as dallas.
The biggest difference in Houston and New Orleans, Texas is above sea level.

No don't do a thing to save yourself. Just sit on your butt until Sunday and blame it on Bush.:p

Texas City Dike actually. It's made of dirt... but the storm surge is gonna be taller than the dikes... On top of that, a good portion of West Houston is inside the reservoir. Katy area (which appearently alot more AH players than I knew about live in), etc. It can and will flood like hell here, and that's just during a heavy rain. It's a surreal moment when you're driving down a road with water almost up to your hood... and the get passed by jetskis and shallow draft boats.
Houston flood area evacs are scheduled to start at noon tommorrow. I'll be long gone by then thankfully. I just filled out my short-notice vacation form. Departure tommorrow, return to work I listed as "pending end of anarchy".

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.

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.
-
My Daughter lives in the Katy area. She and her Boyfriend are heading to San Antonio to wait it out.
I was down there 2 weeks ago, boy the traffic there really sux!
Met =MIG= and his wife. Good peeps.

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?"

Best thing that could happen aside from returning to sea, is to hit NO again..
:(
-
ok its september 21 the evacs will start at 6:00pm today BE PREPARED

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.
-
if i was the government i would wait till hurricane season is over tp start rebuilding it. Because if another hurricane hits and they already started building then they would to start all over
-
We ganna wait till tommow just to see if its going to come up to us or not.
-

But imagine how many less lives would be effected?
Either way, it isnt' gonna be good..

I got a call from Grocer's Supply today. They are the largest independant grocery supplier in Texas. They are locking down their central warehouse and sending most of their trucks to Dallas thursday. May be the last delivery for a while if Houston takes a hit. Lots of small towns across Texas may not get any food until they reopen.

I think Rita is about to do just that. What should the local people do - shoot her?

Hey Beet, I read that the brit newspaper authors who are writing about the New Orleans debacle are actually enjoying our suffering. What's your take on that?
-
Steve, I have read no such report.

I have 2 cousins each of them live right by the beach in Galveston, they both have been through a few hurricanes, they have already packed there stuff up and are currently staying with me in fort worth lol They said that if that storm is 1/2 as bad as people are predicting there houses are toast. Just watching the news and the traffic is sooo bad coming out of galveston and houston area.
-
yall come to Austin i will sell ya a house. Also ACL is going on this weekend so you can see some great bands.
-
Would luv to come down to Austin, I probably go down there once a month or so just to party on 6th street. We usually stay at the holliday inn in round rock, its a lil cheaper than finding a place right by 6th street. Its only about a 3 hr drive from where I live, sometime 2.5 depending on traffic, we only stay the night because everybody gets a lil too drunk to drive home... But yeah I come down there every now and then, I can't get enough of the clubs / women in the clubs lol

My brother-in-law and his family (and pets) just arrived this morning after leaving Lake Jackson (Galveston area for non-Texans) about 6:00PM yesterday. They took off east and came up through east texas on back roads until they hit I30.
Bedford, where I live is in the DFW area.
-
Steve, I have read no such report.
Beet, the report itself is not important. I'm just wondering if you got the same impression from the media coverage there.

Well this is disappointing, I'm going to have to take looting off of my plans for this weekend.

Took my 3 car convoy 17 hours and alot of back roads to get from Houston (katy area) to Dallas yesterday. Left at 3am. 9 hours to Conroe, caught the contraflow as it opened, covered alot of ground fast, then it slammed to a halt again. Backroaded it for the rest of the way. Never had a problem finding gas once we were outside of Houston. People are just too stubborn to leave I-45. All the small towns were great.
Now I'm stuck in Grapevine until Monday, possibly Wednesday with absolutely nothing to do...

The paper you quoted is a crappy left-wing broadsheet. You guys would describe it as "liberal". I never read it because it's crap. (We won't talk about the fact that Toad and Ripsnort use its material in their posts!)
