Obviously, the Houston evacuation plan needs a bit of fine tuning, but why does Houston have 31 deaths from Hurricane Rita, and 17 from the actual evacuation?

More than half of those deaths — 17 of the 31 recorded so far — were of people evacuating to safer ground when they suffered some sort of medical distress, said Beverly Begay, chief investigator of the medical examiner's office. None of the deaths occurred during the storm itself, she said.

I realize you're not going to evacuate 2.5 Million people without a snag, but does this sound acceptable to anyone? Oh wait, I guess it does:

"Considering around 2.8 million people evacuated within a short amount of time, this is a relatively small, small number," Begay said.

What this is going to tell people in the future is that if you're traveling with anyone that's not in perfect health, you might as well stay. Hell, I'd much rather die at how from an airborne 2X4 than stuck in the biggest traffic jam the world has ever seen.
