Now that's funny! :D



My only question is why didn't the city authorities have mandatory evacuations? Quite a few cities in the red zone (including parts of Houston) should have been evac'ed.

Google it and you'll find your answer. You're a millennial, you should know that.

What do you want them to do?

I think spirit moved crew's at the "long" location to the "short" locations (higher ground). I think though it was for selfish reasons to make it easier to get flights completed instead of having crew's stuck at the long location with a moat around them.

No, they're downtown.

I couldn't find an answer, that's why I asked. If they are saying evac kills many ppl like it happened during Katrina, that's because that evac order came late. There was plenty of warning and time for Harvey.

It wasn't Katrina. It was Rita. The flooding didn't kill people during Rita. From what I understand, there were more deaths that occurred on the roads outside of Houston than did by he landfall of the Hurricane itself. People saw what happened to those who stayed in NO during Katrina and over 3.7 Million people evacuated prior to the storm. They sat in a 100 mile gridlock, windows down, and no A/C to conserve gas. Dozens of people died on the road (it was 100 degrees out there) after a horrific bus crash and of heat exhaustion.

Even worse, Rita didn't hit Houston. It missed and weakened.
