Rita's Onslaught is Considered

Over the past several days there has been considerable discussion and work related to our Houston office and its continued operations. At the end of an email this morning a writer appended this comment:

By the way, panic has taken over Houston - grocery stores have been stripped clean and almost all gas stations are out of gas, traffic is in gridlock in many places. Unbelievable.

When huricane Katrina slashed the Gulf coast across Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisianna the world was presented with the sorry sight of people being their most vicious and miserable. Some of this terrible behaviour might have been explained by how unprepared and surprised everyone was for the extent of the devastation. But we've had two weeks to think and prepare for such extreme disasters, and yet we haven't learned much.
