As a Houstonian who's staying put, thank you for your concern and your anger. I won't be staying in my home as it is a mobile home, but I will be staying with a friend who's not leaving anyway and it makes her family happier. She's older and married, but her husband has health issues as well. Right now I'll just be happy if she doesn't come up 45 like Alicia did.
It does seem to be pretty much a cluster fuck with the evacuating. I'm more concerned about the people who are homeless or are unable to take care of themselves because of health issues. Don't leave Beaumont of your prayers because it looks like she's moving more in that direction. We will feel the effects of the storm.
I liked your rant about faith too btw. I'm a life long Methodist and faith does only get you so far. At some point you have to act on that faith. But I do have faith everything will be okay in the long run which is not to say it won't be ugly before then. It will, but I think by staying I'll be in a good position to help, even if it is just my friend and her husband.
On a side note, when I have to replace my 1996 Geo Metro in a year or so, I'm planning on a Honda Insight.
