- "Race against time?"
Talk about extreme hyperbole and media sensationalism.
The vast majority of flooded areas are probably already back to normal by now other than wet ground.
I''''m not sure why anyone would be "racing against time," but if they are, they must have to go to the bathroom. . .

- I watched yesterday how the person said that they had called at 11:00pm Friday night but exasperated say that it took them 10 hours to get to them.
You know rescuers are willing to take some risks to rescue people who put THEMSELVES in a bad situation but .... - Reply to this comment

I agree, but why is it others are "forced" to rescue them? - Reply to this comment

- Having spent half my life between Puerto Rico and Houston, I learned that hurricanes are anything but predictable.

- Those who stayed against a mandatory evacuation order should have to help foot the bill of the rescues. Saying they didn''t think it would get that bad just doesn''t cut it. They do not get my sympathy.

- If Civil Defense authorities beleive that a community won''t be deprived of basic services during or after a disaster, then no evacuation order will be issued.
BASIC SERVICES, include, Water, Sewerage, POLICE, FIRE, AMBULANCE, Electricity, Telephone and safe passable roads and bridges.
Civic education is something that hasn''t been valued very much in the past 20 years in Texas, and the results are clearly expresssing it with a poor attitude towards government and other ideal that establish a common good and defend it. Public Service would be a great place to begin learning about civic education.
There is hope that the loudest mouths about the poor performance of government will have a change of heart and answer the call to serve their community. You only get results when you personally invest something substantial, like your time and service to it. Government is a good place to work and serve your community.
The best schools have groups of students who are involved with their community. The best churches have parishoners doing the same thing. The best families and homes also have community spirit and serve. The rewards and fulfilment of community service can''t be replaced with anyting or taken away. - Reply to this comment
