Milling about the Reliant entrance, Sheila Nathan, 38, told her teary-eyed toddler that she was too tired to hold him.

"I'm trying to make it a fairy tale so they won't panic," said Nathan, who had four grandchildren in tow. "I have to be strong for them."

You may have heard that the first refugees to arrive at the Astrodome were aboard a comandeered school bus. It's a true story.
