I guess he has football games scheduled for that one

Screw football, especially after the Superbowl in Houston two years ago. The NFL can wait.

I believe they are readying Reliant, and the overflow last night was sent to an adjacent building- the Astro Hall maybe?
Also Dallas has opened up Reunion Arena, and there are many shelters all over the state taking people in. I have a friend who is a Dallas social worker and they were asked to work Sat Sun and Mon. to help with the processing. Texas- Houston in particular- has taken on an enormous task and I hope people will refrain from too much criticism of its efforts. The facilities have been pulled together with impressive cooperation and skill and hardwork.

This state gets more than its share of jibes; it deserves some well-earned pats on the back for this.
