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!
