From a friend in Houston

A friend posted this on a forum regarding the Houston evacuation:

They estimate 1.5 million people have been able to get out of harms way. Primarily those in the most vulnerable areas near the coast. Unfortunately, Houston metro is nearly 6 million. There's just no way to move that many people in such a short period of time (even days). Interestingly enough our fearless leader, Mayor Bill White, finally admitted that we have a few "glitches" in our emergency plan. So many people are running out of gas and becoming stranded on the side of the road he has now advised that no more people try to leave...calling the evacuation routes (and I quote) "death traps." Now that inspires hope in a panicked populace! I guess it brings new meaning to the notion of being "left behind" doesn't it?

Please remember the folks who are unable to get out of town. They are depending on our prayers!
