i couldn't have said it better

from our county judge john willy:
--------------------------
"This ain't New Orleans. Let there be no mistake. We will not tolerate any looters in Brazoria County. Trust me. They will be dealt with harshly. This is not up for discussion or questions."

"The State plan tells people evacuating from Brazoria County to go to shelters in Bryan and Brenham. First, our people are stranded in a parking lot without gas, food, or water. Then second, after 24 hours of madness, they are told there is no room at the inn. That is unacceptable! Thanks to heroic efforts by many of our own people and volunteers, we finally secured shelters for all our evacuees that were bused out of Brazoria County."

"We followed our plan and our plan worked. The state plan, that everyone agreed to follow, fell apart due to lack of resources. We had Brazoria County people stranded all over Texas! They are mad and so am I. They needed serious help! Not excuses! In the future, Brazoria County people need evacuation routes that do not go through large populated areas."

yeah! what he said! the sun is setting and the wind is defintely picking up. beer is flowing freely. it is starting to feel like a hurricane...whatever that means.
