My neighbors are now stuck, and there won't be shelters. This is from the website
Hurricane Rita Information
(updated Thu, September 22, 2005 9:41 PM)
Sugar Land residents are receiving this information via their home telephone.
Reverse 911 Bulletin no. 2
This is an emergency message from the City of Sugar Land Emergency Operation Center.
We encourage residents who have not left yet to remain due to congestion of the evacuation routes and inability to refuel.
We are a pass through community and impacted by the hurricane and therefore in conjunction with the Red Cross, we are not establishing shelters at this time.
Due to street congestion, garbage and recycling pickup has been cancelled by BFI. Trash cans and yard debris should be secured in enclosed areas. Please secure for neighbors if they already have left.
For the elderly or disabled with special medical needs who are unable to evacuate, we will be organizing a volunteer program to check on you. Please call 281-275-2900 to be placed on the list after 8 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 23 to be placed on the list.
Please stay tuned to local media for regular storm updates or call the emergency hotline for a taped message at 281-494-4357 or the City Phone Bank at 281-275-2900 which will reopen at 8 a.m. Friday morning, Sept. 23.
I called my guitar teacher, he's got plenty of water and all his equipment is bagged up.
I don't have any jokes at this time. This hurricane looks like serious business. I hope my neighboors are going to be ok. I hope my home doesn't crushed by a falling tree.
