  Houston and Martial Law. As posted previously, I evacuated from Houston on Wed. before the main exodus and nightmarish traffic snarls started (but feel free to call me a "Rita Refugee"; I won't be offended). A friend who was trapped there finally got out this morning; the road to Waco was finally clear, as of early this a.m., he said. Apparently in the meantime there is some variant of martial law being imposed, as a relative still in Houston told me that even though the roads are now open people are not permitted to leave their homes--it seems to be a type of martial law called "shelter in place". If you hit the Interstate now you get arrested. Makes sense--as soon as the roads clear up, you can't leave--with over 12 hours until the storm hits. By Stephan  Kinsella. [LewRockwell.com Blog]
The government really doesn't like it when people take care of themselves in potentially dangerous situations.
