At the George R Brown convention center, evacuees from flooded parts of Houston say they're grateful to have dry blankets and food. Michael Thompson arrived late Monday. He got stranded at a gas station on the Northside when the flooding started Saturday, then was huddled up with dozens of others at a warehouse.

Another Houstonian flocking to the shelter is Star'nita McKelvey. Star’nita is thirteen years old and evacuated the Fifth Ward with seven other relatives.
