CNN.com – Hurricane Rita drops to Category 4 – Sep 22, 2005:
Texas Department of Transportation spokesman Mark Cross told CNN that this is the first time that a mandatory evacuation has been issued for Houston — a city of 3 million people. He said that traffic was being reversed on key roads leading into the city to speed the flow of traffic.
This makes it sound like Houston is being forced to evacuate. Only *parts* of Houston are under this order, that parts that I talked about in my earlier post, and referenced in the links on the right.
Again, y’all don’t panic…Houston is not under a total evacuation; only the areas listed in the links on the right.
