So, I have a cousin who lives in Houston; she and her family rode out Hurricane Harvey safely.

I also have a cousin in Tampa, who has decided to go to a friend's house further north to ride out Hurricane Irma, because she waited too long to leave Florida entirely.

I'm glad your cousin from Houston is alright and I hope your cousin in Tampa will be, too.

Glad to hear your cousin in Houston (and her family) are safe. I hope your cousin in Tampa will be okay.

I keep wondering if there were bullet trains, if that would be a good way to evacuate 6 million people from an area.

It's why the governor of Houston didn't call for evac this time, due to the way evacuations of Rita went. One of the freeways was turned into northbound, all six lanes completely. There were hundreds of folks who died in auto accidents, or from heatstroke in their cars. Or they ran out of gas. I had some cousins who attempted to leave, but saw all the traffic build up, and decided to ride out Rita in some small inland town. (Victoria, maybe? I really don't remember.)

Civilian friend in West Palm Beach riding it out. First responder family in Miami riding it out to be on hand for immediate recovery efforts.

Theyre all idiots. Glad yours got out safe.
