The Mess in Texas

Evacuation woes grow as Rita closes in.

"I guess you sit and wait for someone to bring you gas or wait for the hurricane to come and kill us."
32-year-old Darrell Dailey from southwest Houston.

"It's been terrible, believe me. We started with a full tank of gas and lots of water for the kids, but it was such a mess. I wondered why so many people in Katrina didn't move in time, and now I'm in the same situation. All I have is cash, clothes, and God."
