You're not messing with Texas, you're messing with the myth of Texas. Sure, there are some idiots who live up to the belligerent cowboy stereotype, but you know they're only a small percentage. Most of us down here are real people. Don't try to make this into a political/religious thing. Conservative Christians and Liberal Athiests both will be blown away by this wrath of God/nature/Gaia/Flying Spaghetti Monster. I've got friends and family scattered along the coastal area and I have no idea where they are right now. But after Katrina, at least enough people are willing to take a hurricane seriously enough to get out so I'm not terribly worried.
Say all the bad things you want about Texas as a state, but the individual lives in Texas are a different story.
