Being from Lubbock, I always get asked about the song "Happiness was Lubbock, Texas in my Rear-View Mirror." I think for many people today that song is more applicable to Houston. Even though most parts of Houston are not under a mandatory evacuation order, anyone who has been watching the news the past month has decided not to take any chances and are heading out of town. Houston has closed schools and businesses for today and tomorrow. We know of one wedding that was cancelled because One Shell Plaza and the restaurant on top is closing. But, how do you get one or two million people out of Houston? Very, very slowly. According to the Houston Chronicle, travelling from a southern suburb to the farthest northern suburb, normally an hour to an hour-and-a-half drive, took 13 hours yesterday. Today, the city is going to reverse the traffic on major freeways so that they all go in the direction of "out." Good luck, guys.
