Residents of Galveston, Texas launched an ill-advised attempt to return to their crippled hometown Wednesday, but instead fumed in hours of gridlocked traffic only to be turned away at the bridge leading to their island. The confusion results in part form the fact that city governors had announced a "look and leave" plan permitting residents to return. However, this plan was rescinded only hours later--when many Galvestonians were already on the road.
