Katrina update

"....Because of its proximity to New Orleans, Houston harbored the largest share of evacuees fleeing the Aug. 29 storm and the devastating flood that followed — an estimated 150,000 people. Not quite a month later, Hurricane Rita brought another, though much smaller, round of storm-ravaged people this way. Now, the city's response to the disasters has been so generous that a third wave of evacuees — those who had landed in other Texas cities — may be en route as well..."

Hmmm....imagine that. Those Texans took in 150 thousand people, and got little publicity....

Guess it was easier to report the urban legends than to praise those who actually helped...
