Got an evangelical friend says that hotels are letting people stay free in Houston [View all]

and that FEMA is paying for those that don't offer free rooms, so why on earth should Joel Osteen open up that beautiful church to people who will turn it into another Superdome?

Seriously - if anyone has any evidence that there are free hotel rooms, please share the source, but I think it's all just rumor.
