90,000 body bags?

An estimated 90,000 people in the Houston and surrounding counties with mandatory evacuation orders have chosen not to leave.

They only declared mandatory evacs where officials felt that the surge would be so bad that life was unsustainable. They had everyone else stand pat so the mandatory evacs could get out.

Sometimes Texas stubbornness makes me a little sick to my stomach...

edit: Just heard that 20,000 of those people are on Galveston Island alone.. 7:20 PM

Keep safe! Used to live in Houston, can't imagine how much water is going to be in there.
