In anticipation of Rita hitting Houston, govt has issued evacuation order for some parts of Houston. Infy has asked us to evacuate the city until further communication. I am with 5 of my colleagues at San Antonio a nearby city.
We chose to fly here. Yesterday when the flight was leaving Houston, we could see a thick glowing bright red light like laser cutting across the city. Our flight captain announced that is Houstons leaving the city in hundreds and thousands. Yep, they were lights of cars. Sad but amazing sight.
People who preferred to drive are in trouble now. Traffic is almost stand still. Cars are standing bumper-to-bumper for 100 miles, clogging the traffic. It is now taking almost 10 hrs to drive 10 miles.
Rita is supposed to hit on Friday. No idea even we would be safe here. Let us see.
Lets see this time if the episode of New Orleans gets repeated or US wakes up

The reaction would ofcourse be different. Texas is George Bush's home state and a strong hold. No messing it up.
