The center's three-day path projections have proven to be right on the mark for some time now, give or take a few dozen miles either way. Hey, I have no problem wanting to leave if a hurricane is on the other side of the Yucatan, and they think it's coming this way. I went through Beulah as a kid, and hurricanes are to be feared.

FEMA AND THE LA. GOVERNORS OFFICE TOOK SO MUCH HEAT AFTER KATRINA BECAUSE OF A BUNCH OF LAZY FOODSTAMPERS I DON'T BLAME OUR GOVERNOR FOR ANYTHING HE DID. THE KATRINA FOODSTAMPERS WERE TO STUPID AND LAZY TO FILL UP EMPTY WISKEY BOTTLES (HUNDREDS IN EVERY YARD) WITH TAP WATER AND WALK DOWN TO THE STORE AND BUY A COUPLE CARTONS OF CRACKERS TO EAT UNTIL HELP ARRIVED. BROWNSVILLE IS ALSO A DIFFERENT PLACE SINCE BEULAH...WE HAVE HAD TWO OR THREE GENERATIONS OF OUR OWN FOODSTAMPERS SINCE THEN AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT WHEN THE BIG ONE HITS BROWNSVILLE, THEY WILL NOT BE READY EITHER. THEY TOO WILL CRY AND BLAME EVERYONE EXCEPT THEMSELVES, AND THE MEDIA WILL PLAY IT UP. I DON'T BLAME THE GOVERNOR ONE BIT. BUT WHAT A WAY TO PISS OFF MY TAX MONEY.

If the computer images are like "gold" being accurate ALL the time, what happened with the tropical storm the week before. It certainly turned and went north at the last minute. So much for the "gold" predictions. It's better to be safe than sorry like they were with Katrina. When it comes to saving lives what's more important, money or planning ahead. If they hadn't planned ahead you would have been giving them the devil for that. There's plenty they do wrong, but this time they did the right thing! We left on Monday and waited until it actually hit land before we came back.

I love your look on this issue. I travel all the valley and while passing San Benito I saw over 25 travel buses on the south side of the expressway and the same amount or more of military vehicles on the north side. Where were all the people who drove all this equipment? Did the state put them up in local hotels? Sure the hotels made some money but who really ended up paying for the operation? Taxpayers? Keep the blog rolling. You have certaintly hit the nail on the head. I love your look on this issue.
