FEMA Director is not "the media", dude. Seriously. I live in Austin. Got many friends and coworkers in Houston. Three of them lost their homes, and they all said the same thing: this is by far the worst storm Houston has seen in their lifetimes, and the city is getting absolutely devastated. Rescue teams are rescuing people and taking them to shelters... in garbage trucks. And most shelters are full and no longer accepting people. Houston may have experienced flooding in the past, it may even be built for it, but it's definitely not prepared for something of this magnitude. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2017/08/28/storm-victims-take-shelter-at-houstons-convention-center-arriving-by-foot-bus-and-dump-truck/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2017/08/2... I get that the typical Texan attitude is to shrug stuff like this off like it's nothing (trust me, I know: I live here too), but tens of thousands are in shelters as we speak and hundreds of thousands have evacuated. This isn't your run-of-the-mill hurricane. It's the strongest Texas has experienced in recorded history, and National Hurricane Center says there's the possibility that it will go back out to the coast, re-gather strength and make second landfall some time on Wednesday.
