KPRC-TV reports that Katy Independent School District has opened its Leonard E. Merrell Center as a shelter for those fleeing Hurricane Rita. Staff include KISD employees and volunteers from Katy Christian Ministries.
One evacuee, stuck in traffic with a seriously ill child, said the people of Katy treated them "like kings and queens."
A follow-up report on KPRC-TV mentioned that City of Katy officials are involved as well.
