Sonar732, it's really cool the US government is ready and set to assist those of us living along the gulf coast but... this is not New Orleans. I believe most of us Texans are actually prepared for this storm and will not require a fraction of the assistance Lousianna did. Check the ID's of any FEMA trailer applicant after this storm and I'm sure you'll find a transplanted resident of NO.
