@chemosh933 @jmp_nyc @NateSilver538 The storm path also projected possible 30 inches of rain in Austin. Should they try to evac there too? Storm was way too unpredictable.

@jmp_nyc @TheStuffedPollo @NateSilver538 Same reason they tell you don’t try to outrun a tornado. Likelihood of death if caught on road. Higher survival in place vs impossible evac.

@jmp_nyc @TheStuffedPollo @NateSilver538 Texas heat and gridlocked highways is literally death in these situations. Buses for everyone would still be like 120,000 buses.

@jmp_nyc @TheStuffedPollo @NateSilver538 One of the larger death tolls from Rita evac was bus of senior citizens catching fire.

@eathdemon @jmp_nyc @drewheineman @NateSilver538 Not enough buildings of that height in Houston and with sprawl, not feasible.

@erikelmgren @jmp_nyc @NateSilver538 Realize too that one of those routes have flooding 143 miles inland from Houston.
