The head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Brock Long, said FEMA expects as many as 30,000 Texans to be forced into shelters before the storm runs its course. Evacuees at Cinco Ranch High uniformly praised the shelter operation. But like many others, Laracuente didn’t know what her next step would be.
