Well, Homeland Security/FEMA screwed up AGAIN!  Big time!  O.K., so between 
cities, counties, states and somewhat HLS/FEMA, the evacuations went 
relatively smoothly.  And parts of Houstan already have their power back.

HOWEVER, what they won't tell you is that HLS/FEMA forgot a couple of VERY 
important items when they brought in first responders.  Would ya believe??? 
FOOD & WATER!!!!  They sent out calls over the local radio stations asking 
residents of the city to provide food and water for the first responders! 
And did I mention that they kinda didn't figure it out until late in the 
afternoon?  By then the first responders had been on the ground and working 
since 6 a.m. with no food or water!

AND, they neglected to bring the appropriate comm center equipment, so they 
took over the local phone system and no one could call in or out because 
HLS/FEMA was using it.

~~sigh~~  It is soooo good to know that they learned soooooo much from NOLA 
and Rita!
