Big 'ol frady-cats
The Dallas Morning News(linked above) has a special feature on the 1900 Galveston Hurricane. This is the one that killed 6,000 people. It was in the days before the big storms had girlish names. It's a good read.
With such vivid and horrible pictures still everywhere from Katrina, it is understandable that local governments are being extra sensitive to safety issues, but local folks in Galveston will not take too kindly to it if Rita shifts away. That is one reason Ray Nagin did not call for everybody to get out of New Orleans till the Sunday j before Katrina struck. Hindsight is 2/20.
The important thing is never to hold President Bush responsible for anything. Got it?
