Totally agree with TXgirl about the mandatory evacuations not being given to all. They totally screwed alot of ppl!

What about the people who had to stay? Firefighters, police? These people put their life on the line everyday. Most of them don't have homes now! I can understand that ppl were told repeatedly to leave and some couldn't bear the idea of leaving their lives behind. But not all had that choice! Its a fucking nightmare and I don't wish it on anyone!

Who the fuck is Adrianne Curry?!?!

excuse the fuck out of me!! what a bitch does she live some where that has hurricanes does she. i mean come on when all you have is a home and hope that maybe your entire life will be standing the next day, they have every right to stay. i am not saying their choice was smart but it was their choice and they are still human beings that held on to a glimmer of hope and for you to trash your own kind just because you don't know what it is like to be in a hurricane or watch as your life is ripped to shreds. i went threw this hurricane i live in houston i watched these people suffer and i continue to see them go through some of the most harsh times they will ever experience. get your facts straight before you bad mouth people of your own country that are suffering!

Re: Fantabulous…I agree that many of us remember sitting Rita, and that has stayed with us as we decided what we were going to do. I sat in traffic for 38 hrs and only got 15 min. outside of College Station (from Friendswood). I saw unimaginable travesty on those highways as people ran out of gas, dead animals on the side of the road and people dying in vehicles! No one wants to go through that ever again!

And, again, mandatory evacuations weren't given for everyone!! This was a storm that people didn't even know where it was going until Thursday!! Giving little time for people to get out! Everyone needs to stop blaming and bitching and pay if forward! That's the message here!

Having lived through this hurricane, I can tell you that for many areas, mandatory evacuations were not given! Up Bolivar Peninsula and into Chambers County, they didn't have those evacuations! There are some on Galveston that had to board up 4 historical homes in the area and didn't have time to get out. Yes, they are possessions, but in many areas of Galveston, there are historical homes filled with historical items that are a value not only to the community, but to the country! This is not a time to place blame! It is a time to come together and help out your neighbor! It is a time to recover and rebuild! And, the Houston-Galveston area is important to this economy in that we are the energy capital of the world! And, a substantial contributor to the oil industry! Gas prices have risen since the storm as hundreds of refineries in the Gulf were offline. In fact, there were only 4 working ones in the days following the storm. So, stop listening to a fucking Z-list celeb that doesn't know her ass from her elbow. What the fuck does she know what the people of New Orleans, Gulf Port, Biloxi, MS, and all up and down the Gulf Coast from Conroe to Houston feel like as they face a storm! And, BTW, the report was a Cat. 2, but the winds we had in our area where Cat 3 at 130! Eerily similar to the storm of 1900. Go do something with your time and read about it instead of listening to this idiot ramble about something she knows nothing about!

i agree. I'm from new orleans and after Katrina, if you live anywhere and you don't leave you are stupid! Just because you don't live in New Orleans doesn't mean that it will not happen to you too. It made me mad to hear of people being rescued off of their roofs when they were told to leave, even more so since they were given ways to leave for free and still did stayed. They said that they were staying to protect their belongings, but guess what, when your tv, and computer,….. is floating in water for a few days you nor anyone else is going to want it. That is what insurance is for. It's not worth it. Did anyone learn from watching New Orleans suffer?

HOW DARE PPL say that ppl didnt try to go. maybe ppl arent informed enough!! How about that?!?! WE were told to evacuate the DAY BEFORE the storm him.. NOONE knew the impact so why not get beer when ppl THOUGHT it wasnt gonna be a big deal..

No one wants to hear of us getting any help from anyone..but ya want to BITCH about the prices at the pumps..well if we aren't up and running, it's only going to get worse. You hear of the stories of people needing to be rescued but you don't hear of the one's who stay behind to try and get all thse plants and oil rigs back running..alot of times it's hard b/c your husband may be one of these who have to stay behind..no one can understand the stress of having to leave your loved one behind..and that is sometimes why the wife and children may stay behind. There are soo many reasons that people have to stay..no doubt some just want to say they did it..but trust me that's a rare case here where i'm from.
Natural Disasters happen everywhere..how do you want to be treated and judged when one comes your way..just remember every time you point your finger there are at least 3 pointing right back at you.
It isn't our job to judge..we're supposed to help our neighbors not cut them down.

Sorry i had to vent but i'm fed up with people who have no clue acting like know it alls.

We also took a 10 ft. surge from Ike a lil' more than a week after Gustav and an estimated 15000 homes in my parish flooded..We had just got our ass kicked..we didn't have much fight left in us. We were told it would only be a 3-5 ft. surge by the weather channel..so how is it those people's fault that the water came up much higher than they were told it would. You know, here in my parish, we supply this country with 30% of it's oil..and are treated like a nuisance it seems..do all you people out there like the prices you're paying at the pumps? Well instead of criticizing us won't you pay us the respect we deserve.
