Not fair - Emergency Services did the best they can

Yes. Houston ran out of Gas and there weren't enough evacuation buses.

Let's be clear about something. People started evacuating Wednesday Afternoon. I saw them out my office Window heading West towards Katy. By the way, this is normally a parking lot at that time, and anyway, they are making I-10 wider. Despite the pleas to rail, which wouldn't have helped people evacuate. Take that rail folks!

Anyway, what really ticked me off about this article is the claim that they didn't call out a huge convoy of bused. They did. We saw several convoys of 20+ charter buses heading West as we were evacuating.

Seriously though - 5 million people plus more people in Galevston, Brazoria county, freeport, etc. There's traffic normally when people are trying to go to work. Of course there will be traffic if everyone tries to leave.

Why am I so irked by this? Because in IT when something goes wrong that is beyond the reasonable control of anyone or if an even happens that goes beyond the budgeted scale of the infrastructure hardening and damaged mitigation, the users never are understanding it's always the blame game.

Give emergency services a break. They did a pretty good job. Evacuations were orderly.
