and i am back!!

whew!! lost power about an hour after my last post!

I am back at my house, a few missing roof tiles, some trash in the yard, but everything is ok, hell i still have power, unlike my father's house where i went to ride out the storm

Basicly Houston got lucky on this one.

Wed night, my girlfriend was going to take shelter at my place, since she lived even closer to the coast than I do.

Thursday morning, i wake up, and take a look at the track of Rita, it was now a cat 5 and 48 hours away. the track was placing it right up galveston bay. Cat5, comming right at me, it was time to leave, pack up GF, dogs, and anything i need to "live", also grabbed my server .

Over the next 24 hours the track jumped from 70 miles to the west to 70 miles to the east, to finaly settle on some place to the east of us.

Basicly, Houston got very lucky that Rita stalled to a cat 3 and moved off to the east, in the last 24 hours.

Things to note, they are saying that 2.75 million people have fled the coastal area, and they did it in 78 hours.
