I can't believe the Harris Country and City of Houston idiots are going to get away with this.
Local disaster plans were "overwhelmed" by the 2.5 million people who fled in advance of Hurricane Rita, Harris County Judge Robert Eckels told a Senate committee Wednesday.

"We will be better prepared next time" with opening highway contraflow lanes earlier and creating a timed system of mandatory evacuations, Eckels told the Senate Homeland Security Committee.

Of the evacuation, which trapped thousands of motorists in hellish gridlock, Eckels said, "People were scared and they left, and I don't blame them."
Overwhelmed? Now the evacuation deathcount is up to 107. One Hundred and SEVEN people DIED. Are dead. Exist no more. Not because of the winds and rains of Rita. Because of government asshats like White and Eckels that thought evacuating 2.5 million people was a good idea, then suddenly became "overwhelmed" when we actually did.

Where's the accountability? Because for Mayor White (and Judge Eckels, if you wanna hitch your cart to this political nightmare) there is blood on your hands.
