Incidentally, in case anyone is wondering, the evacuation routes that went so wrong (for any number of reasons) were FEMA plans:

(Look under the weather radar at the "Evacuation Routes" links.)

And I was SO pissed yesterday to see the FEMA news conferences where they were in full CYA mode, describing what assets they had in place, a laundry list of teams ready to go, etc., INSTEAD of giving people actual information on what to do if they were stranded on a highway out of gas, or in the path of storm surge or tornadoes, or... Maybe that's not technically their job, but it was so obviously political it just rubbed me the wrong way that they would waste airtime on that when people needed real advice and guidance.

I heard about that famous resturant in Galveston that lost one of its walls too. hopefully they can rebuild it.
