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.
