Houston’s Mayor Was Right to Not Evacuate

I'm not sure what your point here is. Do you disagree with that advice, or do you think it means that a large-scale evacuation is called for? Did you skip:

> Attempting to drive through flooded streets is a common cause of death during heavy rainstorms.

Basically, you are damned if you stay and damned if you drive. Maybe building a float from furniture would work, but I think the Office of Emergency Management knows better than random internet commenters how to handle a flood.

NPr followed up Lieutenant General Honore (of Katrina and Rita experience) and he disagreed with the decision of Houston mayor.[1] And now they are evacuating areas because of impending breaches.
