A lot of these people are deciding to just stay in these cities that they are in. That means that our state along could have hundreds of thousands of people looking for jobs and homes here. It could definately put a strain on the markets in these states.

I know that they also as far as Amarillo. My little brother is a paramedic in Amarillo and I believe he said they were getting about 500.
