| After evacuating three times in three years I will say evacuating is almost as bad as staying for the hurricane. During Rita it took us 13 hours to make a 2 hour trip. We stayed this time because we do not live in a flood area. Our home was not damaged but I have friends and family who were not as lucky. I left my home yesterday because we do not have lights or water but they will be on soon. Ike was scary but IMO Rita was worse for my area and Texas rebuilds fast. |
