The hurricane to follow Katrina is called Rita, and it is closing in on the shores of Texas and Louisiana threatening the states and the citizens.
Rita has become a category 4 storm, and the winds have reached 220 km/hour. The first rains of Rita are supposed to fall on Friday night and the full storm's fury is expected on Saturday. Unfortunately, its way isn’t totally clear, and it changes its course every few hours!
Millions of people have packed their most important belongings and headed towards the Houston highway to flee from the south and go up to the north. The highways are stacked with bumper to bumper cars and buses.

My name is Karen Thomas I am an evacuee from Louisiana and since the two hurricanes I have had lots of time to think of the impact both hurricanes had on louisiana. Though the great citizens were told to evacuate, some had no means of evacuation. That's where a Governor or Mayor of "power" would have stepped in and order what ever help to get the citizens out of harms way. First, transportation: if the citizens had no means to leave there were hundreds of buses just sitting there. Use those buses to get the people to safety in neighboring shelters (action speaks louder than words). Lots of people wanted to leave and could only end up at the "Superdome" "per say" which put them at even greater risk. Next: talk to neighboring hotels to be on alert (just-in-case) to house the citizens (at the expense of the government) until further notice. Also, prepare for a lengthy stay for the good citizens that voted you in office.If lengthy stay becomes inevitable have housing on hold for an undertermined amount of time. Now is the perfect time to make sure the "dam" is in working order. I hope this hurricane turned on some political light bulbs for future knowledge.
Was this hurricane the perfect opportunity for a political fund raiser for a city that was in critical need of funding?
