Janet Shamlian writes for MSNBC:
With Hurricane Rita threatening to devastate the Texas coast, Galveston is under a mandatory evacuation order.
And with the images of Katrina fresh on the minds of residents — as well as the city's history as the scene of America's deadliest hurricane — no one is questioning it.
The elderly, the disabled and those without transport began leaving first. They were loaded onto yellow school buses on Wednesday morning.
Taking a lesson from Hurricane Katrina, during which many people wouldn't leave because they couldn't take their pets, the buses leaving Galveston will accommodate cats and dogs.
