I just saw the announcement baicells is replacing all gear for free in
affected areas. I know at the end of the day its marketing, but its
still pretty solid thing to do.

Tough call any way you cut it...our city has sent

evacuees...many actually stayed... hospitality, great

maybe someone from Texas can explain this to
me but it seems that the Huston evacuation
plan for the storm (or really any natural
disaster) was to not evacuate because they
can't move 6.5million people out of the city
in time for the storm so everyone was supposed
to evacuate "in place"...so now the plan is to
go rescue everyone who stayed in place because
it's all flooded.
I know Texans have their own sort of reasoning
and thinking but this seems really flawed IMHO.
am i missing something or do I have my facts
wrong?!?!

The Wisp response to Katrina was
awesome thanks to Mac Dearman. I
tired to offer wifi to some of the
shelters up here in Fort Worth
after that and it just turned into
a bureaucratic nightmare and
nothing ever got done. Nobody
seemed to know who was in charge
of communications. The shelters in
some parts of Houston, as I
understand it, are a moving target
as well right now. My partner's
son is currently in one, but it
may soon be overtaken by water
itself and they might have to evac
the few hundred people there. It's
a mess for sure. Someone might
consider contacting either
Samaritan's Purse or HEB here in
TX as they have already mobilized
huge convoys of trucks with
everything from food and water to
laundry trucks, to shower trucks,
etc. I wonder if they have ever
considered communications? It
might be worth while to have them
build a few comms trucks with
hydraulic masts that could be
quickly deployed and get bandwidth
from a nearby wisp for just such
events. It could be outfitted with
a bunch of couches, usb charging
ports, and few APs inside/outside
to provide communications quickly
outside of shelters.
