Evacuation deadly as millions flee
HOUSTON - As Hurricane Rita approached, treacherous winds whipping before it Friday afternoon, Selvyn Lucas, his wife and their parakeets could not get out of its way.
They were 35 miles north of downtown Houston - in the kingdom of gasoline - and had been stranded almost two days for want of a few gallons of gas.
"You panic," said Lucas, as a gathering wind tugged at his clothing. "You don't know what to do. No food, no rest rooms, no place to go."
